A transport system transports a transport object in a state sandwiching the transport object between a plurality of transport robots, wherein the transport robot comprises: a main body; wheels; a rotation mechanism that makes a contact part rotatable relative to the main body; a drive part(s) mounted on the main body and driving the wheels; a load sensor detecting a load when the contact part contacts the transport object; and an angle sensor that detects a rotation angle of the contact part relative to the main body, wherein using hardware resources, processings are executed to control the drive part so that load and rotation angle approach a first target value and a second target value based on information of a load and a rotation angle detected by the load sensor and the angle sensor.

A parking support apparatus is provided with: a vehicle controller configured to park a vehicle by controlling behavior of the vehicle in accordance with the signal associated with the remote operation if a distance between a transmitter located outside of the vehicle and the vehicle is greater than or equal to a first distance and is less than or equal to a second distance. The vehicle controller performs a predetermined informing operation for an operator of the transmitter, instead of or in addition to controlling the behavior of the vehicle in accordance with the signal associated with the remote operation, if the distance is greater than or equal to the first distance and is less than or equal to a third distance or if the distance is greater than or equal to a fourth distance and is less than or equal to the second distance.

An electronic device may comprise: an antenna module; a communication circuit; a processor; and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: output first beams each having a first beam width to a first spatial range around the electronic device; receive a first reflective pattern with respect to the first beams; determine at least one section in which the external object is disposed, among a plurality of sections configuring the first spatial range; output second beams each having a second beam width to the at least one section; receive a second reflective pattern with respect to the second beams; recognize the external object on the basis of the second reflective pattern of the second beams to authenticate a user; and output third beams to determine state information or motion information of the external object.

Systems and techniques are described for implementing autonomous control of earth-moving construction and/or mining vehicles, including to automatically determine and control autonomous movement (e.g., of a vehicle's hydraulic arm(s), tool attachment(s), tracks/wheels, rotatable chassis, etc.) to move materials or perform other actions based at least in part on data about an environment around the vehicle(s). A perception system on a vehicle that includes at least a LiDAR component may be used to repeatedly map a surrounding environment and determine a 3D point cloud with 3D data points reflecting the surrounding ground and nearby objects, with the LiDAR component mounted on a component part of the vehicle that is moved independently of the vehicle chassis to gather additional data about the environment. GPS data from receivers on the vehicle may further be used to calculate absolute locations of the 3D data points.

A mobile robot and a safety control system therefor. The safety control system includes a first monitoring circuit to movement data of the mobile robot; a second monitoring circuit to monitor whether the mobile robot collides with an obstacle; a third monitoring circuit to monitor whether an obstacle exists within a preset range of the mobile robot; a safety control circuit to generate a first safety instruction based on the movement data, a second safety instruction based on the collision signal, a third safety instruction based on the alarm signal, and a fourth safety instruction based on state information of the safety input device; a servo circuit to receive and execute a corresponding safety instruction; and a main control board to output a drive control signal to the servo circuit, for causing the servo circuit to control a motor of the mobile robot based on the drive control signal.

The motion detecting device that detects motion of an operator's finger for remotely operating a multi-articulated robot includes a device main body that is installed such that the finger is placed thereon, a contact part that follows a shape of the finger in the device main body and is in contact with the finger, and a detection part that detects the motion of the finger on the basis of a pressing state of the finger against the contact part.

A autonomous robotic golf caddy which is capable of following a portable receiver at a pre-determined distance, and which is capable of sensing a potential impending collision with an object in its path and stop prior to said potential impending collision.

A robotic work tool system (200) for defining a working area (205) in which a robotic work tool (100) is subsequently intended to operate. The robotic work tool system (200) comprises a robotic work tool (100), at least one controller (210) and at least one memory (220). The robotic work tool (100) comprises at least one sensor unit (170) configured to collect sensed input data while the robotic work tool (100) is driven around the working area (205) to preliminarily define a perimeter around the working area (205). The at least one controller (210) is configured to establish a preliminary working area perimeter (250). The at least one memory (220) is configured to store a perimeter adjustment function and instructions that cause the at least one controller (210) to adjust the perimeter of the working area (205) by applying the stored perimeter adjustment function to the established preliminary working area perimeter (250) and thereby produce an adjusted working area perimeter (260). The perimeter adjustment function is based on the collected sensed input data corresponding to terrain features.
