SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REALTIME FEEDBACK LOOP FOR MULTI-SENSOR APPLICATIONS
A method for assessing, by a robot, a feature of an environment based on data from one of the plurality of sensors, wherein the robot is positioned in the environment includes comparing, by the robot, the feature of the environment to an expected feature of the environment; creating, by the robot, a feedback loop based on the comparing step; and adjusting an operational condition of the robot based on the feedback loop.
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE DRIVING SYSTEM AND METHOD
This disclosure provides an autonomous vehicle driving system and method. A vehicle may be located by using a vehicle-determined location determined by a vehicle-side locator based on a differential operation and an environmental image captured by an image sensor, that is, a current vehicle location of the vehicle is determined, so that accuracy of vehicle locating is ensured. Further, vehicle driving may be controlled based on the current vehicle location and environmental sensing data, and thus autonomous driving can be implemented without a LiDAR during vehicle operation, thereby reducing costs without affecting the appearance and use of the vehicle.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACTIVATING AN EXTERNAL INTERFACE AND ENABLING VEHICLE MOVEMENT
An interface including a first detection unit, a second detection unit and a processor is disclosed. The first detection unit may be configured to detect a user intent to cause a vehicle movement via the interface. The second detection unit may be configured to receive movement inputs to cause the vehicle movement. The processor may determine that a user intends to cause the vehicle movement based on inputs obtained from the first detection unit, and determine that the movement inputs are received by the second detection unit within a predefined time duration of determining that the user intends to cause the vehicle movement, based on inputs obtained from the second detection unit. The processor may further transmit a command signal to the vehicle to cause the vehicle movement based on the movement inputs, responsive to determining that the movement inputs are received within the predefined time duration.
DUAL-MODE AUTOMATIC PUBLIC/PRIVATE TRANSPORT SYSTEM
Automatic private public transport system, comprising a plurality of vehicles, operating by optoguidance along a colored strip, each vehicle incorporating an inertial unit, capable of managing all the parameters associated with the movements of a vehicle, namely: a starting point, the direction, accelerations, durations, as well as all the successive variations of these different parameters, the processing of the aforementioned data enables the on-board computer to calculate and define the vehicle's route and to store it, the said route data reproducing a succession of points on the said route, i.e. a virtual computer image of the colored strip of the route travelled. In this way, the on-board computer uses the virtual computer strip to continue its journey if the colored strip is no longer visible.
