A method is provided for detecting and avoiding conflict along a current route of a robot. The method includes accessing or determining trajectories of the robot and a nearby moving object forward in time from their respective current positions, and detecting a conflict from a comparison of the trajectories. The method includes selecting a maneuver to avoid the conflict, and outputting an indication of the maneuver for use in at least one of guidance, navigation or control of the robot to avoid the conflict. Selection of the maneuver includes determining a plurality of angles that describe the conflict such as those at which the robot and moving object observe one another, and/or an angle between their trajectories, and evaluating the plurality of angles to select the maneuver.

A ground utility robot and implement attachment apparatus having a ground utility robot, at least one implement, at least one solar panel, at least one battery that is chargeable by the at least one solar panel, a power take-off system that is connected to the ground utility robot and to the at least one implement; where the battery powers said ground utility robot and the implement; a safety system that has a computer, a safety program that utilizes a processing logic on the computer, where the safety program initiates precautionary measures that are carried out by the ground utility robot and the power take-off system if an object comes within a predefined distance from the ground utility robot and implement attachment apparatus.

A loading vehicle detects the position of a receiving vehicle relative to the loading vehicle and determines whether the receiving vehicle is to be repositioned. If so, it sends a repositioning message to the receiving vehicle and receives acknowledgement that the loading vehicle has remote control of the positioning mechanisms in the receiving vehicle. A loading vehicle operator input is detected and a position control signal is sent to the receiving vehicle to reposition it relative to the loading vehicle.

A system for remote pilot control of an electric aircraft in autopilot mode including a remote computing device configured to receive a user input and generate a control datum as a function of the pilot input, a flight controller configured to receive the control datum from the remote computing device, and generate a command datum as a function of the control datum and an authority status, and the remote computing device configured to receive the command datum from the flight controller, and display the command datum.

The present disclosure relates to the field of robots, and particularly relates to a robot control method, a robot control system and a modular robot. The robot control method includes the steps of: T1: providing a robot, with at least one wheel and at least one motion posture; T2: regulating the robot to a motion posture, saving motion-posture information corresponding to the motion posture, and generating preset action control information based on the speed of the wheel and the motion-posture information; T3: constructing and forming an operating model based on the preset action control information; and T4: outputting, by the operating model, actual motion control information of a motion according to user's input to control the robot to perform the motion. Thus, it is convenient to set motion modes to meet the diverse needs of users, and the design space of the robot suitable for more scenarios is increased.

A purpose of the present invention is to provide a remote operation assistance system used for assisting an operator OP in remotely operating a work machine. In order to achieve this purpose, the remote operation assistance system of the present invention includes: a distance acquisition unit 201 that obtains information on a distance from the operator OP to a moving body M; an attribute acquisition unit 202 that obtains an attribute to which the moving body M belongs; an interference determination unit 203 that determines a level of likelihood of interference occurring with the remote operation, based on the distance obtained by the distance acquisition unit 201 and the attribute obtained by the attribute acquisition unit 202; and an assistance control unit 204 that performs control to assist in the remote operation according to a result of the determination by the interference determination unit 203.

An autonomous vehicle may include an autonomous driving control apparatus having a processor that transmits vehicle data and a vehicle path for remote control of the autonomous vehicle to a control system when the remote control of the autonomous vehicle is required, and performs following and control based on adjusted path information when receiving the adjusted path information from the control system.

An autonomous vehicle, a control system for remotely controlling the same, and a method thereof may include an autonomous driving control apparatus including a processor for determining whether remote control of the autonomous vehicle is required according to at least one of occurrence of failure of the vehicle during autonomous driving thereof, occurrence of an accident, a region where the autonomous driving is not possible, reliability of positioning data of the vehicle, a stopping time of the vehicle, or a response point of a hand signal, and for requesting the remote control to a control system when the remote control of the vehicle is required.

An evacuation running assistance system includes a road shoulder evacuation possibility determiner to determine if an own vehicle can be evacuated to a road shoulder; an own vehicle situation determiner to determine a current situation of an own vehicle in accordance with a time limit and the road shoulder evacuation possibility, a controller to control an own vehicle in accordance with the situation of the own vehicle; and a road shoulder evacuation possibility road determiner to acquire evacuation space information from a past running history of the own vehicle. The own vehicle situation determiner determines that the own vehicle is in the situation to be controlled to perform the on-lane stopping when the road shoulder evacuation possibility road determiner does not determine within the provisional time that the evacuation of the own vehicle to the road shoulder is possible.

An autonomous vehicle may include an autonomous driving control apparatus including a processor that is configured to request remote control of the autonomous vehicle to a control system when remote control of the autonomous vehicle is required, when receiving a remote control path and a remote control command from the control system, determines whether the remote control path and the remote control command match, and performs the remote control command depending on a result thereof.
