12154440 · 2024-11-26 · ·

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone executes a neural network to assist with detecting and responding to attacks. The neural network may monitor, in real time, the data stream from a plurality of onboard sensors during navigation and may communicate with a high-altitude pseudosatellite (HAPS) platform. For example, if the neural network detects a cyber-attack but determines that it does not interfere with external communications, it may shift navigation control of the drone to the HAPS.

12148174 · 2024-11-19 · ·

The present disclosure relates to a method for forecasting a motion trajectory, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer device. The method includes: obtaining an observed past trajectory of an object; obtaining a spatial pointwise feature of each trajectory point in the observed past trajectory; obtaining a temporal pointwise feature of the trajectory point according to the spatial pointwise feature of the trajectory points within a preset observation time interval; and performing motion trajectory prediction on the object according to the spatial pointwise feature and the temporal pointwise feature of the trajectory points. The present disclosure promotes the accuracy of the motion trajectory prediction.

Autonomous robotic navigation in storage site

A robot includes an image sensor that captures the environment of a storage site. The robot visually recognizes regularly shaped structures to navigate through the storage site using various object detection and image segmentation techniques. In response to receiving a target location in the storage site, the robot moves to the target location along a path. The robot receives the images as the robot moves along the path. The robot analyzes the images captured by the image sensor to determine the current location of the robot in the path by tracking a number of regularly shaped structures in the storage site passed by the robot. The regularly shaped structures may be racks, horizontal bars of the racks, and vertical bars of the racks. The robot can identify the target location by counting the number of rows and columns that the robot has passed.

System for sensing and responding to a lateral blind spot of a mobile carrier and method thereof

The present application is to provide a system for sensing and responding to a lateral blind spot of a mobile carrier and method thereof, which is applied for a mobile carrier during moving to a parking place. Firstly, a light scan unit and a depth image capture unit are used to scan a plurality of surrounding objects and capture a plurality of object depth images of the surrounding objects, and then a plurality of screened images are obtained according to a moving route of the mobile carrier for further obtaining correspondingly a plurality of forecasted lines to generate corresponded notice message for noting driver or ADAS. Due to the objects corresponding to the screened images and located on a blind position which is at one side of the mobile carrier, the notice message provides the driver preventing from the ignored danger by ignoring the blind position.
