Facility layout
A facility including a first AGV including a first drive system and a first rechargeable battery for powering the first drive system to autonomously move the first AGV, a second AGV including a second drive system and a second rechargeable battery for powering the second drive system to autonomously move the second AGV, and a control server in communication with the first AGV to provide instructions to the first AGV to perform first tasks requiring movement within a first designated area within the facility and in communication with the second AGV to provide instructions to the second AGV to perform second tasks requiring movement within a second designated area within the facility. The first AGV has a first home position in the first designated area, and the second AGV has a second home position in the second designated area, which is different from the first designated area.
Agricultural characteristic confidence and control
A mobile agricultural machine obtains an agricultural characteristic map indicative of agricultural characteristics of a field, wherein the agricultural characteristic map is based on data collected at or prior to a first time. The mobile agricultural machine obtains supplemental data indicative of characteristics relative to the worksite, the supplemental data collected after the first time. An agricultural characteristic confidence output, indicative of a confidence level in the agricultural characteristics indicated by the agricultural characteristic map, is generated based on the agricultural characteristic map and the supplemental data. In some examples, an action signal is generated to control an action of the mobile agricultural machine based on the agricultural characteristic confidence output.
Robot for guiding an evacuation route for persons in the space in the event of emergency and method for controlling the same corresponding object with regard to the space
Provided is a robot control method that controls a robot to guide an evacuation route in response to occurrence of an emergency situation. The robot may acquire evacuation route information on a space from a server when an emergency situation occurs in the space, and may move to a first node closest to the robot among nodes defined in the space and a second node indicated by direction information of the first node based on the evacuation route information and a current location of the robot.
REMOTE WEB BASED CONTROLS FOR AUTONOMOUS OPERATIONS
A mission control may receive, from a yard management system (YMS), a move request identifying a destination spot in a yard and one or more of a trailer identifier of a trailer to be moved, a pick-up spot of the trailer, and a trailer type. Mission control determines whether the move request is feasible for an autonomous vehicle (AV). When the move request is feasible, mission control generates a mission defining directives to control the AV to move the trailer from the pick-up spot to the destination spot and sets, via an application programming interface (API) of the YMS, a status of the move request to indicate autonomous move is scheduled.
Remote controller, remote control system, and remote control method
A remote controller includes: an acquisition unit; a detection unit; a control value generation unit; and a transmission unit. The control value generation unit generates a retreat control value if at least either one of a first case and a second case applies. The first case includes two or more moving objects overlapping each other in the sensor information. The second case includes establishing an expectation before sensor information acquisition that the two or more moving objects overlap each other when the sensor information is acquired. The retreat control value defines the running motion of at least any of the moving objects establishing a locational relationship allowing a detection subject moving object of the moving objects as a subject of detection using the sensor information to be detected by the detection unit without causing an overlap of the detection subject moving object with a different one of the moving objects.
Production system and method for forestry application
A production system for a forestry application comprising a server and a wireless production network, configured to be connected to forest machines and vehicles, at least one forestry harvester vehicle and one forwarder vehicle, the vehicles having a wireless data connection to the production system server and network, having a positioning system, identify the type of processed logs, measure the amount of processed logs, measure the lengths of processed logs, measure the quality of the processes logs, visually record the vehicle surroundings, process the recorded images to identify objects, store them, and send them via the production network, the vehicles having a display so that the vehicle operator may compare images with different time stamps, the system adapted to visualize changes between the images based on the identified objects and time stamps, so that the vehicle operator may identify tracks, objects, logs, log piles during visually impaired conditions.
