Abstract:
A robot cleaner and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The robot cleaner includes a main body; a driver configured to move the main body; a storage configured to store a topological map and a grid map generated on the basis of a floor plan of a cleaning space; and a controller configured to control the driver in a manner that the main body travels in the cleaning space on the basis of the topological map and the grid map. The topological map and the grid map are generated prior to initial traveling of the cleaning space.
Abstract:
A method and device for determining an indoor approachable area. The method includes: an indoor area is determined (101); a plurality of surveying and mapping points are selected in the indoor area, 360 degree scanning is performed at each surveying and mapping point to obtain an approachable area measured at each surveying and mapping point (102); and the indoor approachable area is determined according to the approachable areas measured at the surveying and mapping points (103). According to the method and device, a robot is not required to continuously transmit infrared rays or ultrasonic waves for detecting when walking along a wall, so that higher efficiency is achieved; and moreover,detection is not based on walking along the wall but by 360 degree scanning at each surveying and mapping point, so that an object not against the wall can also be correctly detected, and higher accuracy is ensured.

For example a transport and support vehicle includes a body structure including a plurality of rotatable members operable to frictionally interface the vehicle to a travel path and to move the vehicle along the travel path, and a surface structured and dimensioned to support an individual subject. A transport and support vehicle can include, for example, an imager operably coupled to one or more of a power source, a steering assembly, one or more of the plurality of rotatable members, etc., and having one or more modules operable to control the power source, steering assembly, one or more of the plurality of rotatable members, etc., so as to maintain an authorized operator in the image zone.
Abstract:
A proximity sensor (520) includes first and second components (522, 523) disposed on a sensor body (514) adjacent to one another. The first component (522, 524) is one of an emitter (522) and a receiver (524), and the second component (522a, 524a) is the other one of an emitter and a receiver, A third component (522b, 524b) is disposed adjacent the second sensor opposite the first sensor. The third component is an emitter if the first sensor is an emitter or a receiver if the first sensor is a receiver. Each component has a respective field of view (523, 525). First and second fields of view intersect, defining a first volume (VI) that detects a floor surface (10) within a first threshold distance (¾). The second and third fields of view intersect, defining a second volume (V2) that detects a floor surface within a second threshold distance (D AC ).
Abstract:
A method for processing object detection-related information may include receiving information indicative of an encounter between a robotic vehicle and an object responsive to communication received from a sensor of the robotic vehicle while the robotic vehicle transits a parcel, determining a location of the robotic vehicle at a time corresponding to occurrence of the encounter, determining whether the location corresponds to a location associated with a known object associated with the parcel, and classifying the object as an unknown object based on the location not corresponding to the location associated with the known object.
