METHOD FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING A ROBOT
A method for remotely controlling a robot situated within a factory infrastructure. The method includes: receiving safety condition signals, which represent at least one safety condition which must be met for the robot to be allowed to be remotely controlled; checking whether the at least one safety condition is met; generating remote control signals for remotely controlling the robot based on a result of the check whether the at least one safety condition is met; and outputting the generated remote control signals. A device, a computer program, and a machine-readable memory medium, are also described.
BLENDED OPERATOR AND AUTONOMOUS CONTROL IN AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
Blended operator and autonomous control in an autonomous vehicle, including: receiving sensor data from a plurality of sensors of an autonomous vehicle; determining, based on the sensor data, a degree of autonomous control for each control input of a plurality of control inputs; and applying the degree of autonomous control for each control input of the plurality of control inputs.
MODULATING OPERATOR INPUT FOR WORK ELEMENT ACTUATOR OPERATION
A control system for controlling movement of a work element of a power machine can include a control device, and an operator input device in communication with the control device. The control device can be configured to receive, from the operator input device, a signal for controlling an actuator of the work element. The signal can be filtered, using a digital notch filter, to generate a filtered signal, and an actuator of the work element can be controlled based on the filtered signal.
Free space detection apparatus and free space detection method
A free space detection apparatus for a vehicle is provided to detect a free space based on a lidar sensor and recognize a driving environment. The apparatus includes a point data processor that removes noise of point data acquired from the LIDAR sensor and derives a half line with respect to an obstacle point from which noise has been removed based on coordinates of the obstacle point. A map processor generates a map for space classification, checks whether the obstacle point or the half line with respect to the obstacle point is present in a cell of the map and determines cell states of the map. A free space detector detects a free space based on the cell states of the map.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FLY-BY-WIRE REVERSIONARY FLIGHT CONTROL
Some aspects relate to systems and methods for fly-by-wire reversionary flight control including a pilot control, a plurality of sensors configured to: sense control data associated with the pilot control, and transmit the control data, a first actuator communicative with the plurality of sensors configured to receive the control data, determine a first command datum as a function of the control data and a distributed control algorithm, and actuate a first control element according to the first command datum.
Configuration of a control system for an at least partially autonomous transportation vehicle
A method, a computer program with instructions, and an apparatus for configuring a control system for an at least partially autonomous transportation vehicle. Data relating to the driving situation are captured, selection criteria are then determined from the available data, two or more AI modules are selected from a library of AI modules during driving based on selection criteria, and combined execution of the selected two or more AI modules by the control system is initiated.

This application discloses a remote driving method, apparatus, and system, a device, and a medium, and relates to the field of intelligent driving. The method includes: obtaining working condition information of a vehicle; and determining a dynamic safety region for the vehicle according to the working condition information; the dynamic safety region being a region in which vehicle autonomous driving is used and no remote control driving is required, or the dynamic safety region being a region in which the vehicle autonomous driving is used and a degree of involvement of the remote control driving is lower than a predetermined degree.
REMOTE OPERATION ASSISTANCE SERVER, REMOTE OPERATION ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, AND REMOTE OPERATION ASSISTANCE METHOD
There is provided a technology capable of improving work efficiency of a work machine that is remotely operated by an operator through a remote operation apparatus. If a first condition is satisfied, that is, if an engine stop instruction for a work machine 40 is made through a remote input interface 21 of the remote operation apparatus 20, operation of an engine 460 is stopped in principle, but the operation of the engine 460 is exceptionally not stopped. Specifically, when an operator does not exist at a specified position at the time of operating a remote operation mechanism 211 in the remote operation apparatus 20, the operation of the engine 460 is stopped. On the other hand, when the operator exists at the specified position, the operation of the engine 460 is continued without being stopped even if an engine operation instruction is made.
Method to monitor control system of autonomous driving vehicle with multiple levels of warning and fail operations
According to one embodiment, a motion trajectory boundary is obtained based on a trajectory that has been planned to drive an ADV for a next time period. A safe driving area boundary is determined for the ADV based on perception data perceiving a driving environment surrounding the ADV. The motion trajectory boundary and the safe drivable area boundary are projected onto a map such as an HD map. A relative location of the ADV within the map relative to the motion trajectory and the safe drivable area boundary is determined. A fail-safe action or a fail operational action may be performed based on the relative location of the ADV in view of the motion trajectory boundary and the safe drivable area boundary.
