Agriculture support device and agriculture support system
An agriculture support device includes a traveling creator to create a scheduled traveling route of an agricultural machine in an agricultural field, a display controller to display on an external terminal a virtual traveling status of the agricultural machine to travel on the scheduled traveling route created by the traveling creator, and a correction permitting controller to permit correction of the scheduled traveling route created by the traveling creator when the external terminal requests the correction. The display controller displays, on the external terminal, the virtual traveling status and a result traveling status of the agricultural machine that has traveled on the scheduled traveling route.
Unmanned aerial vehicle control system, unmanned aerial vehicle control method, and program
Stability of an unmanned aerial vehicle is sought by using a flight controller of an unmanned aerial vehicle control system for controlling flying by an unmanned aerial vehicle based on an instruction from a first operator. A determiner is used to determine whether a second operator visually recognizes the unmanned aerial vehicle based on a predetermined determination method. A switcher is used to switch, based on a result of the determination obtained by the determiner, from a first state, in which the unmanned aerial vehicle flies in accordance with an instruction from the first operator, to a second state, in which the unmanned aerial vehicle flies in accordance with an instruction from the second operator.
Reinforcement learning-based remote control device and method for an unmanned aerial vehicle
A device and method for remotely controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle based on reinforcement learning are disclosed. An embodiment provides a device for remotely controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle based on reinforcement learning, where the device includes a processor and a memory connected to the processor, and the memory includes program instructions that can be executed by the processor to determine an inclination direction corresponding to the hand pose of a user, the movement direction of the hand, and the angle in the inclination direction based on sensing data associated with the pose of the hand or the movement of the hand acquired by way of at least one sensor, and determine one of a movement direction, a movement speed, a mode change, a figural trajectory, and a scale of the figural trajectory of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the determined inclination direction, movement direction, and angle.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING A TRAILER SEPARATELY FROM A VEHICLE
Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to controlling a trailer without the presence of a physical connection. In one embodiment, a method includes in response to receiving a signal to initiate hitchless maneuvering of a trailer separately from a controlling vehicle, acquiring control inputs to maneuver the trailer from an input device within the controlling vehicle. The method includes communicating, from the controlling vehicle to the trailer, the control inputs to maneuver the trailer. The method includes in response to receiving feedback from the trailer indicating the trailer is within a requested position, sending a control signal to stop the trailer.
MOBILE ROBOT SYSTEM AND BOUNDARY INFORMATION GENERATION METHOD FOR MOBILE ROBOT SYSTEM
The present specification relates to a mobile robot system and a boundary information generation method for the mobile robot system, the mobile robot system comprising a signal processing device that comprises a receiving tag for receiving a transmission signal and a distance sensor, so as to recognize coordinate information about a spot at which the point of the distance sensor is designated on the basis of the reception result of the receiving tag and the distance measurement result of the distance sensor, thereby generating boundary information according to the path designated as the point of the distance sensor on the basis of the recognized coordinate information.
Method for controlling an autonomous, mobile robot
A method for controlling an autonomous, mobile robot which is designed to navigate independently in a robot deployment area, using sensors and a map. According to one embodiment, the method comprises detecting obstacles and calculating the position of detected obstacles based on measurement data received by the sensors, and controlling the robot to avoid a collision with a detected obstacle, the map comprising map data that represents at least one virtual blocked region which, during the control of the robot, is taken into account in the same way as an actual, detected obstacle.
Travel Control Method, Travel Control System, And Travel Control Program
A travel processing unit causes a work vehicle to travel manually on the basis of an operator's manual travel operation. A route-generation processing unit generates a target route, which is a route for the work vehicle to travel automatically, when the operator's route-generation instruction operation to the operation unit is accepted while the work vehicle is traveling manually. A travel processing unit causes the work vehicle to travel automatically along the target route when the operator's automatic-travel start operation to the operation unit is accepted after the route-generation instruction operation.
REMOTE DRIVING SYSTEM
A remote driving system includes: an acquisition unit for acquiring operation information related to an operation of a steering wheel by a user who remotely drives the target vehicle; and a control unit for controlling a resolution and a frame rate of each camera mounted on the target vehicle. When an operation amount of the steering wheel is relatively small, at least one of the resolution and the frame rate of a camera that captures an image of a front region of the target vehicle in a traveling direction is maintained or improved. When the steering wheel has been rotated to one of right and left and the operation amount is relatively large, at least one of the resolution and the frame rate of a camera that captures an image of a region of the one of right and left of the target vehicle is maintained or improved.
Controlling Simulated and Remotely Controlled Flyable Aircraft with Handheld Devices
In a general aspect, a handheld controller device includes a housing and a trigger assembly. The housing is configured to be held in the hands of a user. The trigger assembly includes a pair of triggers extending outward from a side of the handheld controller device and configured to move along respective trigger paths. A coupling assembly is disposed inside the housing and connected to the pair of triggers. The coupling assembly is configured to transfer motion between the pair of triggers such that, when either of the triggers moves towards the housing along its respective trigger path, the coupling assembly moves the other trigger an equal distance away from the housing along its trigger path. Circuitry in the housing includes one or more sensors and a microcontroller configured to receive sensor signals and, in response, generate aircraft control data (e.g., for a flight simulation or remotely controlled flyable aircraft).
HOLDING DEVICE AND HOLDING METHOD
The present disclosure relates to a holding device and a holding method that enable an object, such as a mobile terminal, to be held more stably.
The present disclosure includes a first member and a second member that slides telescopically with respect to the first member. The first member is provided with: a fixing member that fixes the second member by frictional force by being pressed by the second member that slides inside the first member; and a pressing mechanism that presses the fixing member against the second member. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a tablet holder.
