SITUATIONAL AWARENESS ROBOT

A system and methods for assessing an environment are disclosed. A method includes causing a robot to transmit data to first and second user devices, causing the robot to execute a first action, and, responsive to a second instruction, causing the robot to execute a second action. At least one user device is outside the environment of the robot. At least one action includes recording a video of at least a portion of the environment, displaying the video in real time on both user devices, and storing the video on a cloud-based network. The other action includes determining a first physical location of the robot, determining a desired second physical location of the robot, and propelling the robot from the first location to the second location. Determining the desired second location is responsive to detecting a touch on a touchscreen video feed displaying the video in real time.

System and method for updating vehicle operation based on remote intervention
11556124 · 2023-01-17 · ·

Technologies disclosed relate to a remote intervention system for the operation of a vehicle, which can be an autonomous vehicle, a vehicle that includes driver assist features, a vehicle used for ride sharing services or the like. The system includes a vehicle sending a request for remote intervention to a remote operator when the operation of the vehicle is suspended. The request for remote intervention can include a request for object identification or a request for decision confirmation. The vehicle can update vehicle operation based in part on vehicle-based sensor data and a response to the remote intervention request from the remote operator. The remote operator can be a human operator or an AI operator.

Castable sonar devices and operations in a marine environment

Many different types of systems are utilized and tasks are performed in a marine environment. The present invention provides various configurations of castable devices that can be operated and/or controlled for such systems or tasks. One or more castable devices can be integrated with a transducer assembly, such as a phased array, that emits sonar beams and receives sonar returns from the underwater environment. Processing circuitry may receive the sonar returns, process the sonar returns, generate an image, and transmit the image to a display.

Performing 3D reconstruction via an unmanned aerial vehicle

In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) employs one or more image sensors to capture images of a scan target and may use distance information from the images for determining respective locations in three-dimensional (3D) space of a plurality of points of a 3D model representative of a surface of the scan target. The UAV may compare a first image with a second image to determine a difference between a current frame of reference position for the UAV and an estimate of an actual frame of reference position for the UAV. Further, based at least on the difference, the UAV may determine, while the UAV is in flight, an update to the 3D model including at least one of an updated location of at least one point in the 3D model, or a location of a new point in the 3D model.

Autonomous vehicle teleoperations system

A teleoperations system may be used to selectively override conditions detected by an autonomous vehicle to enable the autonomous vehicle to effectively ignore detected conditions that are identified as false positives by the teleoperations system. Furthermore, a teleoperations system may be used to generate commands that an autonomous vehicle validates prior to executing to confirm that the commands do not violate any vehicle constraints for the autonomous vehicle. Still further, an autonomous vehicle may be capable of dynamically varying the video quality of one or more camera feeds that are streamed to a teleoperations system over a bandwidth-constrained wireless network based upon a current context of the autonomous vehicle.

20180011457 · 2018-01-11 · ·

A control system, method and computer program product cooperate to assist control for an autonomous robot. The system includes a communications interface that exchanges information with the autonomous robot. A user interface displays a scene of a location in which the autonomous robot is positioned, and also receives an indication of a user selection of a user selected area within the scene. The communications interface transmits an indication of said user selected area to the autonomous robot for further processing of the area by said autonomous

Management and display of object-collection data

An object identification and collection method is disclosed. The method includes receiving a pick-up path that identifies a route in which to guide an object-collection system over a target geographical area to pick up objects, determining a current location of the object-collection system relative to the pick-up path, and guiding the object-collection system along the pick-up path over the target geographical area based on the current location. The method further includes capturing images in a direction of movement of the object-collection system along the pick-up path, identifying a target object in the images; tracking movement of the target object through the images, determining that the target object is within range of an object picker assembly on the object-collection system based on the tracked movement of the target object, and instructing the object picker assembly to pick up the target object.
