A remote driver support method according to the present disclosure includes: acquiring vehicle dimension information related to a dimension of a vehicle that is remotely driven by a remote driver, and acquiring road structure information related to a structure of a road ahead to which the vehicle is heading. The remote driver support method according to the present disclosure further includes: generating passability information related to a possibility that the vehicle is able to pass through the road ahead based on the vehicle dimension information and the road structure information; and notifying the remote driver of the passability information.

The present disclosure provides a moving robot including a body which forms an appearance, a traveler which moves the body, a boundary signal detector which detects a boundary signal generated in a boundary area of a traveling area, and a controller which controls a traveler so that the traveler performs pattern traveling a plurality of times in the traveling area, and controls the traveler so that a traveling angle during first pattern traveling and a traveling angle during second pattern traveling are different from each other. Accordingly, when the pattern traveling is performed a plurality of times, the pattern traveling is performed at angles different from each other based on a reference axis, and it is possible to minimize an area which cannot be mowed and improve efficiency.

A training simulation system and method for detection of hazardous materials simulates real-world hazardous environments to provide a trainee with hazardous material training. The system provides a hazardous material detection simulator that displays simulated readings to indicate presence thereof. The detection simulator automatically generates the simulated readings, based on its relative position to the hazard point, and based on preprogrammed hazard points in the area. A host trainer, through a trainer communication device, remotely generates and adjusts the simulated readings while tracking vehicle's position. A vehicle integrally contains the hazardous material detection simulator. A trainee controls the vehicle while also observing and reacting to the simulated readings. Once the hazard point is determined, based on simulated readings, the trainee can form a decision on the readings and react accordingly. The simulated readings can be adjusted based on the reaction of the trainee and position of vehicle relative to hazard point.

An autonomous mobile robot includes a chassis, a drive supporting the chassis above a floor surface in a home and configured to move the chassis across the floor surface, a variable height member being coupled to the chassis and being vertically extendible, a camera supported by the variable height member, and a controller. The controller is configured to operate the drive to navigate the robot to locations within the home and to adjust a height of the variable height member upon reaching a first of the locations. The controller is also configured to, while the variable height member is at the adjusted height, operate the camera to capture digital imagery of the home at the first of the locations.

A method, a computer program, an apparatus, a transportation vehicle, and a network component for determining a speed limit for a tele-operated transportation vehicle. The method for determining a speed limit for a tele-operated transportation vehicle includes obtaining information related to an environment of the tele-operated transportation vehicle; obtaining information related to a predictive quality of service (pQoS) of a communication link between the tele-operated transportation vehicle and a tele-operator of the transportation vehicle; and determining the speed limit based on the information related to the environment of the tele-operated transportation vehicle and the information related to the pQoS.

A remote support system facilitates assignment of vehicles to remote support agents for providing teleoperation or other remote support services. The remote support system may generate assignments based on a mapping function that optimizes various parameters based on sensed data associated with the vehicle, a requested service mode of the vehicle, or other factors. In some situations, the remote support server assigns a redundant set of remote support agents to a vehicle that provide similar command streams. The vehicle selects between the command streams to minimize latency or another performance parameter. Alternatively, the remote support server assigns multiple diverse remote support agents to a vehicle that generate diverse command streams. A proxy agent then generates a consensus command stream for providing to the vehicle.

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.

The present disclosure provides an image-viewing method, a terminal, and a cleaner.

A system for a vehicle includes a vehicle processor disposed to control a drive system, and a memory for storing executable instructions. The vehicle processor is programmed to execute the instructions to determine, via the vehicle processor, a localization of a mobile device using a tethered wireless connection between the mobile device and the vehicle, receive, via the processor, an absolute heading of the mobile device, determine, via the vehicle processor, based on the localization of the mobile device, a relative bearing angle from the mobile device to the vehicle. The system may use the tethered wireless connection and the relative bearing angle from the mobile device to the vehicle to determine that a user is actuating a Human Machine Interface (HMI) element indicative of user attention to a remote parking maneuver and complete the remote parking maneuver.

Embodiments of the present disclosure assist pilots of aerial vehicles in performing particular operations utilizing improved user interface(s). In some contexts, pilots performing vertical takeoffs or vertical landings cannot visually inspect the environment around the vehicle. Embodiments of the present disclosure utilize virtual elements, including a virtual corridor and virtual vehicle corresponding to an aerial vehicle, to enable improved visualization and control of an aerial vehicle within a particular environment. Utilizing representation(s) of the virtual elements, including a virtual corridor and/or virtual vehicle, embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved user interfaces that assist a pilot in safely controlling an aerial vehicle (even without visual inspection of a real-world environment) during vertical takeoff and/or vertical landing.
