Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine contextual information describing at least one physical structure corresponding to a location based at least in part on data captured by one or more sensors of a vehicle. A set of candidate interaction points for the at least one physical structure can be determined based at least in part on the determined contextual information describing the at least one physical structure corresponding to the location. The set of candidate interaction points can be filtered to identify one or more interaction points. An interaction point can be selected from the one or more interaction points to use for stopping the vehicle.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for straight edge detection by a robot and a method for reference wall edge selection by a cleaning robot. The method for straight edge detection by the robot includes that: position coordinates of detection points are determined according to distance values detected by a distance sensor of the robot and angle values detected by an angle sensor of the robot, and then a final straight edge is determined according to a slope of a straight line formed by adjacent two of the detection points.

Abstract: Provided are an obstacle sensing system and an obstacle sensing method whereby precision when determining the presence/absence of an obstacle can be enhanced. In sensing of an obstacle by a configuration in which laser light is radiated from a transmission part 9 mounted to a moving body while the irradiation angle θn is varied, and reflected light of the laser light is received by a reception part 10, a sensing region S is set in advance in a region on the periphery of a reflection position Pn from which the laser light is reflected when there is no obstacle, and a determination mechanism 13 determines whether an obstacle is present or absent in accordance with the reflected light reflected inside the sensing region S.

Abstract: Systems for inspecting a warehouse are disclosed. A system includes a laser scanner attachable to an industrial truck and adapted to scan in a plane substantially perpendicular to the industrial truck's main direction of travel to scan an environment of a warehouse on at least one side of the industrial truck and to generate scan data. The system includes a computing unit adapted to receive the scan data and data on the absolute position and/or relative position change of the industrial truck, or data from which one or more of these variables can be derived. The computing unit is further adapted to construct three-dimensional data of the environment on the basis of the scan data and data on the absolute position and/or relative position change of the industrial truck.

Abstract: There is provided a driver-support system for use with a human-operated material-transport vehicle, and methods for using the same. The system has at least one sensor, a human-vehicle interface, and a transceiver for communicating with a fleet-management system. The system also has a processor that is configured to provide a mapping application and a localization application based on information received from the sensor. The mapping application and localization application may be provided in a single localization-and-mapping (“SLAM”) application, which may obtain input from the sensor, for example, when the sensor is an optical sensor such as a LiDAR or video camera.
