A vehicle is provided that comprises two or more radio frequency (RF) antennas and two or more RF transceivers to communicate wirelessly sensitive information associated with a user of the vehicle (the two or more RF antennas being at different physical locations on an exterior of the vehicle). The vehicle determines which one of the two or more RF antennas is receiving a strongest signal from a common signal source, selects a first RF transceiver associated with the RF antenna with the strongest signal to send the sensitive information associated with the user to the common signal source, and sends the sensitive information associated with the user to the first RF transceiver for transmission to the common signal source.

Embodiments herein can determine an optimal route for an autonomous electric vehicle. The system may score viable routes between the start and end locations of a trip using a numeric or other scale that denotes how viable the route is for autonomy. The score is adjusted using a variety of factors where a learning process leverages both offline and online data. The scored routes are not based simply on the shortest distance between the start and end points but determine the best route based on the driving context for the vehicle and the user.

An information processing apparatus of the present invention acquires, from a communication device of a user, at least one of utterance information by the user and position information of the communication device, specifies a predetermined region according to a mark included in the utterance information; acquires a movement direction of the user from at least one of the utterance information and the position information acquired from the communication device of the user, and setting a probability distribution that the user exists to a divided region of the predetermined region based on the acquired movement direction of the user; and presumes the user based on the set probability distribution.

A method implemented in a parking management system for parking autonomous vehicles in a parking slot free manner, a method implemented in an autonomous vehicle and an autonomous vehicle adapted to perform the method. The method comprises the steps of requesting to park in a parking space. A parking position is determined based on the vehicle length and width and, based on the length and width of the vehicles forming the vehicle cluster at which the vehicle is intended to be parked. The method is a very flexible way of managing parking space for autonomous vehicles.

Provided is a system for robotic collaboration, including a first robotic chassis and a second robotic chassis each including a medium storing instructions that when executed by a respective processor effectuates operations including: capturing data of an environment and data indicative of movement; inferring locations visited up to a current location based on at least the data of the environment; and tracking areas cleaned based on the locations visited. The first robotic chassis performs a first part of a task and the second robotic chassis performs a second part of the task after the first robotic chassis completes the first part of the task.

A driving support device includes a projector and a screen in a cabin. The projector projects an image based on driving support information serving as assistance at the time of driving a vehicle. The screen includes a projection part on which the image based on the driving support information projected from a projecting unit of the projector is projected. The projecting unit of the projector and the projection part of the screen are disposed in a lower side of the vehicle with respect to an eye point of a driver, and the projecting unit of the projector is disposed in a lower side of the vehicle with respect to the gravity center position of the projection part of the screen. The projector is disposed so that reflection light related to an image based on the driving support information incident from the projecting unit reaches the eye point of the driver.

An electronic apparatus to promote rider safety is provided. The electronic apparatus receives a trip plan associated with a user identifier. The trip plan includes a current travel route of a micro-mobility vehicle associated with a shared mobility service. The electronic apparatus determines incident information associated with a number of past traffic incidents on at least one portion of the current travel route. The electronic apparatus controls a display device to display an option to replace the current travel route with a safer alternate route. The electronic apparatus receives a user input that includes a selection of the displayed option. The electronic apparatus determines a discount applicable on an initial trip cost associated with the trip plan based on received user input and controls the display device to display, based on the determined discount, an incentive including a final trip cost associated the trip plan.

A system for robotic collaboration, including: a first robotic chassis and a second robotic chassis, each including wheels; a control system; a power supply; at least one sensor; a processor, and a medium storing instructions that when executed by the respective processor effectuates operations including: capturing data of an environment and data indicative of movement; generating a map of the environment based on at least some of the captured data; inferring a current location of the respective robotic chassis based on at least some of the captured data; and executing a portion of a task, the second robotic chassis executing a second part of the task after the first robotic chassis completes a first part of the task.

Provided is a first robot including: a machine readable medium storing instructions that when executed by the processor of the first robot effectuates operations including: executing, with the processor of the first robot, a task; and transmitting, with the processor of the first robot, a signal to a processor of a second robot during execution of the task when its power supply level reduces below a predetermined threshold; and the second robot including: a machine readable medium storing instructions that when executed by the processor of the second robot effectuates operations including: executing, with the processor of the second robot, the remainder of the task upon receiving the signal transmitted from the processor of the first robot; and wherein the first robot navigates to a charging station when its power supply level reduces below the predetermined threshold and wherein the first robot and second robot provide the same services.

A mobile body control device adjusts a stop position of the mobile body based on an instruction of a user. The device acquires instruction information for designating a predetermined target and acquires a captured image captured in the mobile body. The device determines a position of the predetermined target from the mobile body as a stop position based on a region of the predetermined target identified in the captured image and control traveling of the mobile body toward the determined stop position. In a case where the predetermined target is not identified in the captured image while the mobile body is traveling toward the stop position, the device updates the stop position determined with respect to the predetermined target according to a motion of the mobile body to control the traveling of the mobile body to the stop position.
