Autonomous vehicle control systems with collision detection and response capabilities

Aspects of the disclosure relate to controlling an autonomous vehicle to respond to a detected collision. An autonomous vehicle control system may receive sensor data associated with an autonomous vehicle in which the autonomous vehicle control system is installed. The autonomous vehicle control system may analyze the sensor data in real-time as the sensor data is received and may detect an occurrence of a collision involving the autonomous vehicle. In response to detecting the occurrence of the collision, the autonomous vehicle control system may generate claim information based on the sensor data and may process the claim information based on at least one insurance profile maintained by the autonomous vehicle control system. Then, the autonomous vehicle control system may generate a claim notification based on processing the claim information and may send the claim notification to a vehicle management computer system.

Approaches for encoding environmental information

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine sensor data captured by at least one sensor of a vehicle while navigating an environment over a period of time. Information describing one or more agents associated with the environment during the period of time can be determined based at least in part on the captured sensor data. A parameter-based encoding describing the one or more agents associated with the environment during the period of time can be generated based at least in part on the determined information and a scenario schema, wherein the parameter-based encoding provides a structured representation of the information describing the one or more agents associated with the environment. A scenario represented by the parameter-based encoding can be determined based at least in part on a cluster of parameter-based encodings to which the parameter-based encoding is assigned.

System to manipulate sliding obstacles with non-holonomic autonomous mobile device

A physical space may contain sliding doors in various places such as between rooms, as closet doors, on furniture, and so forth. An autonomous mobile device (AMD) capable of non-holonomic motion may selectively contact a portion of the sliding door and apply a force to open or close the door. The AMD moves to an initial pose relative to the door, with a portion of the AMD coming into contact with the door. The AMD then rotates and translates, relative to the door, applying a force to the door. Sensor data, such as linear acceleration, rotation, drive wheel torque, and so forth is used as input to determine the next movement in a series of motions, resulting in continued contact and force application. As the end of travel for this motion is reached, the AMD may separate from the door, reposition, and continue to apply a force to the door.

Trusted motion unit

Navigation systems and methods for autonomous vehicles are provided. The navigation system may include multiple navigation subsystems, including one having an inertial measurement unit (IMU). That unit may serve as the primary unit for navigation purposes, with other navigation subsystems being treated as secondary. The other navigation subsystems may include global positioning system (GPS) sensors, and perception sensors. In some embodiments, the navigation system may include a first filter for the IMU sensor and separate filters for the other navigation subsystems.

SYSTEM AND MAGNETIC MARKER DETECTION METHOD

A patrol robot including a plurality of magnetic sensors for detecting a magnetic marker laid on a traveling road has at least two or more magnetic sensors arrayed on a sensor array line linearly extending along any direction. In the patrol robot, two sensor array lines are formed, and since at least any one sensor array line can cross with respect to a relative moving direction of the magnetic marker with a movement of the patrol robot, the magnetic marker can be detected with high reliability, irrespective of the moving mode.
