摘要： A self-contained, high precision navigation method and system for a mobile vehicle includes an active coherent imaging sensor array with multiple receivers that observes the surrounding environment and a digital processing component that processes the received signals to form interferometric images and determine the precise three-dimensional location and three-dimensional orientation of the vehicle within that environment. A mesh navigation system for a network of mobile vehicles is provided where each mobile vehicle hosts an active coherent imaging sensor that observes a common area in the environment that surrounds the network of mobile vehicles. The navigation system on each mobile vehicle receives signals from the other mobile vehicles reflected from the common area in the environment. These signals are processed onboard each mobile vehicle to form interferometric images and determine the precise three-dimensional location of each mobile vehicle relative to the others operating and moving within the network.

摘要： A map updating technique offers the performance advantages gained by robots using a good-quality static map for autonomous navigation within an environment, while providing the convenience of automatic updating. In particular, one or more robots log data while performing autonomous navigation in the environment according to the static map, and a computer appliance, such as a centralized server, collects the logged data as historic logged data, and performs a map update process using the historic logged data. Such operations provide for periodic or as needed updating of the static map, based on observational data from the robot(s) that capture changes in the environment, without need for taking the robot(s) offline for the computation.

The linear laser module is applied for the self-moving device, and includes: a camera apparatus for acquiring an ambient image; at least one linear laser emitter, disposed on both sides of the camera apparatus, and configured to emit a laser having a linear projection, the camera apparatus working in coordination with the at least one linear laser emitter; and a return-to-pile positioning apparatus for receiving a first infrared signal emitted by a charging pile. Thereby, a sensing component communicatively connected to the charging pile, and a sensing component for measuring a road condition in front of a device body, are integrated into the linear laser module, thereby allowing a modular design of a sensing system, which is convenient for assembly and repair.
