VEHICLE-MOUNTED, HUMAN-LIKE, MOBILE SECURITY ROBOT
A mobile security robot includes a human-sized mannequin mounted on a vehicle. A storage unit, mounted on the vehicle, stores security devices and high-powered energy storage devices for facilitating extended patrols without recharge. A video recording system, disposed in the mannequin, continuously records images of a patrol area. Multiple sensors mounted on and proximal to the mannequin generate sensor data based on environmental conditions of the patrol area. A computing system coupled to the sensors processes the sensor data using artificial intelligence models and generates action commands for execution of tasks by actuators including electric motors, robotic arms, and supplementary attachment devices. The electric motors run the vehicle at different speeds with wheel speed feedback based on the environmental conditions and navigate the vehicle along a predefined travel path with object avoidance during patrols. User interface devices facilitate auditory and visual communication with humans in the patrol area.
Driving assistance method, processing apparatus, and mobile machine
A driving assistance method for assisting driving of a mobile machine, the driving assistance method includes: executing processes of, by one or more processors, acquiring at least one of a first position on an autonomous driving route and a first angle indicating a direction in which the mobile machine travels at the first position when the mobile machine deviates from the autonomous driving route by switching from autonomous driving to manual driving, and outputting driving assistance information for assisting the manual driving according to at least one of a difference between the first position and a second position that is a position of the mobile machine traveling by the manual driving, and a difference between the first angle and a second angle indicating a direction in which the mobile machine is traveling at the second position.
Autonomous driving vehicle operation system
An operation system performs autonomous operation by using an operation server for an autonomous driving vehicle. The operation server includes a memory unit containing three-dimensional map data. An autonomous driving vehicle connects to the operation server via a wireless network. A vehicle control unit creates a traveling route based on the map data received and, when an elevator of a building is to be used, creates elevator usage information and elevator control information, including the boarding and exiting floors. The elevator is equipped with an elevator control unit that is connected to the operation server to control ascending and descending of an elevator cage. A control unit of the autonomous driving vehicle transmits the elevator usage information and the elevator control information to the elevator control unit. The elevator control unit gives a voice announcement from a voice output unit in the elevator cage.
SAFETY COMPLIANCE, IDENTIFICATION, AND SECURITY MONITORING SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a safety compliance, identification, and security monitoring system that includes a monitoring device operable to capture images/videos of a predefined area and persons and events within the area. The monitoring device is further operable to determine whether persons within the area are wearing required personal protective equipment. In one embodiment, the monitoring device initiates an alert a safety equipment infraction. In one embodiment, the system is operable to further record an incident report identifying the nature, date, and location of the infraction, as well as the identity of the person committing the infraction. In one embodiment, the system is operable to monitor various external conditions, such as heat, humidity, smoke, and initiate an alert of the external condition detected. In one embodiment, the system detects quality assurance/quality control issues, including situations involving inspecting equipment, tools, and/or materials for non-conformance.
METHODS OF GENERATING A MAP OF ANOMALIES IN AGRICULTURAL FIELDS, AND RELATED AGRICULTURAL VEHICLES
An agricultural vehicle includes multiple sensors operably coupled to the agricultural vehicle, and an anomaly detection system that acquires sensor data from the multiple sensors. The anomaly detection system operates on a computing device including at least one processor, and instructions that cause the processor to receive sensor data from the multiple sensors, utilize advanced machine learning model techniques to detect both static and dynamic anomalies in an agricultural field surrounding the agricultural vehicle, and control operations of the agricultural vehicle based on the detected anomalies.
