Abstract:
A mobile robot is configured for operation in a commercial or industrial setting, such as an office building or retail store. The robot can patrol one or more routes within a building, and can detect violations of security policies by objects, building infrastructure and security systems, or individuals. In response to the detected violations, the robot can perform one or more security operations. The robot can include a removable fabric panel, enabling sensors within the robot body to capture signals that propagate through the fabric. In addition, the robot can scan RFID tags of objects within an area, for instance coupled to store inventory. Likewise, the robot can generate or update one or more semantic maps for use by the robot in navigating an area and for measuring compliance with security policies.
Abstract:
A method for generating a map includes determining an occupancy level of each of multiple voxels. The method also includes determining a probability distribution function (PDF) of the occupancy level of each voxel. The method further includes performing an incremental Bayesian update on the PDF to generate the map based on a measurement performed after determining the PDF.
Abstract:
A method of motion planning includes observing an object from a first pose of an agent having a controllable camera. The method also includes determining one or more subsequent control inputs to move the agent and the camera to observe the object from at least one subsequent pose. The subsequent control input(s) are determined so as to minimize an expected enclosing measure of the object based on visual data collected from the camera. The method further includes controlling the agent and the camera based on the subsequent control input(s).

Abstract:
A sortation system is disclosed for providing processing of homogenous and non-homogenous objects in both structured and cluttered environments. The sortation system includes a programmable motion device including an end effector, a perception system for recognizing any of the identity, location, and orientation of an object presented in a plurality of objects, a grasp selection system for selecting a grasp location on the object, the grasp location being chosen to provide a secure grasp of the object by the end effector to permit the object to be moved from the plurality of objects to one of a plurality of destination locations, and a motion planning system for providing a motion path for the transport of the object when grasped by the end effector from the plurality of objects to the one of the plurality of destination locations, wherein the motion path is chosen to provide a path from the plurality of objects to the one of the plurality of destination locations.
Abstract:
Indicators are set on a marker positioned on a working stage in conformity with a target teaching point. A stereo camera images the indicator in a state of being positioned on a robot hand, and measures the three-dimensional position of the marker. In robot arm controlling, the robot hand is positioned at the correction teaching point for off-line that is offset from an off-line teaching point in the depth of field direction of the stereo camera. In imaging, while the robot hand is positioned at the correction teaching point for off-line, the indicators are imaged by the stereo camera. In correcting, based on an imaging result of the indicator, the on-line teaching point is corrected toward the target teaching point to obtain the on-line teaching point.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for using sensor-based observations from multiple agents (e.g., mobile robots and/or fixed sensors) in an environment to estimate the pose of an object in the environment at a target time and to estimate an uncertainty measure for that pose. Various implementations generate a multigraph based on a group of observations from multiple agents, where the multigraph includes a reference frame node, object nodes, and a plurality edges connecting the nodes. In some implementations, a composite pose and composite uncertainty measure are generated for each of a plurality of simple paths along the edges of the multigraph that connect the reference frame node to a given object node - and a pose and uncertainty measure for an object identifier associated with the given object node is generated based on the composite poses and the composite uncertainty measures.
