Abstract: A working machine includes a machine body capable of traveling, a position detector to detect a position of the machine body, and a controller to control the machine body based on the position of the machine body detected by the position detector and a planned travel route. The planned travel route includes a straight section on which the machine body travels straight, and the controller includes a threshold setter to set a threshold according to work, and causes the machine body to perform a recovery movement to make a deviation between the position of the machine body detected by the position detector and the planned travel route less than the threshold when the machine body is at a start point of the straight section or is about to enter the start point of the straight section.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a video capture device and a processor. The video capture device may be mounted at a low position. The video capture device may be configured to generate a plurality of video frames that capture a field of view upward from the low position. The processor may be configured to perform video operations to generate dewarped frames from the video frames and detect objects in the dewarped frames, extract data about the objects based on characteristics of the objects determined using said video operations, perform path planning in response the extracted data and generate a video stream based on the dewarped frames. The video operations may generate the dewarped frames to correct a distortion effect caused by capturing the video frames from the low position. The path planning may be used to move the apparatus to a new location. The apparatus may be capable of autonomous movement.

Abstract: In various examples, a path perception ensemble is used to produce a more accurate and reliable understanding of a driving surface and/or a path there through. For example, an analysis of a plurality of path perception inputs provides testability and reliability for accurate and redundant lane mapping and/or path planning in real-time or near real-time. By incorporating a plurality of separate path perception computations, a means of metricizing path perception correctness, quality, and reliability is provided by analyzing whether and how much the individual path perception signals agree or disagree. By implementing this approach—where individual path perception inputs fail in almost independent ways—a system failure is less statistically likely. In addition, with diversity and redundancy in path perception, comfortable lane keeping on high curvature roads, under severe road conditions, and/or at complex intersections.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for operating a mobile robot in an environment according to a coverage path generated using an environment map. The path includes a set of linear path segments connected by a number of turns therebetween, and the path minimizes or reduces the number of turns that the robot makes as it traverses the environment. An exemplary system includes at least one controller that partitions the environment map into regions with respective orientations based on the region's dimensional information and neighboring regions' properties, decomposes the regions into parallel ranks, and generates a coverage path using the ranks. One or more mobile robots can accomplish designated missions such as cleaning in the environment when moving along their respectively identified path.
