Systems and methods to increase environment awareness in remote driving applications may include a vehicle having an imaging device and a teleoperator station in communication with each other via a network. For example, audio data may be received from the vehicle and processed to identify known sounds associated with unseen objects in the environment. In addition, imaging data may be received from the vehicle and processed to identify known but unheard objects in the environment. Based on the identified sounds and/or objects, visualizations of the objects may be generated and presented to a teleoperator, and sounds associated with the objects may be amplified, synthesized, and/or emitted to the teleoperator to increase environment awareness.

Systems and methods to ensure safe driving behaviors in remote driving applications may include a vehicle having an imaging device and a teleoperator station in communication with each other via a network. For example, a safety tunnel having various safety tunnel parameters may be generated based on location data, map data, vehicle data, and/or sensor data. Remote operation of the vehicle may be monitored with respect to the safety tunnel parameters, and various visual, audio, and/or haptic alerts or feedback may be presented or emitted for the teleoperator to encourage or enforce vehicle operation within the safety tunnel parameters. Further, various autonomous remote operation programs or control routines may be initiated or instructed to ensure safe driving behaviors of the vehicle based on the safety tunnel parameters.

An aerial vehicle according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a recording unit, a detection unit, and a reproduction unit. The recording unit records a flight parameter during flight in a state in which no sensor abnormality is detected. The detection unit detects the sensor abnormality. The reproduction unit reproduces the flight parameter on the basis of the sensor abnormality detected by the detection unit.

There is provided an information processing system for remotely steering a mobile body, the information processing system including an information acquisition unit (104) that acquires information concerning the mobile body and information concerning a periphery of the mobile body and an information generation unit (122) that generates, based on the acquired information, tactile information for performing the remote steering and presents the generated tactile information to an operator who performs the remote steering via an interface corresponding to the tactile information.

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of swimming pool cleaning, in particular to a swimming pool cleaning robot and a steering method, which including a cleaning robot body, an angle sensor, a gyroscope sensor and an acceleration sensor arranged inside the cleaning robot body, as well as first sonar and second sonar fixed on the forward side of the cleaning machine body. The present disclosure solves the problem of low random cleaning efficiency of the traditional cleaning robot, and there is no need to plan the cleaning route, and can be directly used in the swimming pool. The scraping assembly can scrape the dirty at the bottom of the swimming pool, and then facilitate the suction of the sewage suction port. It has a strong cleaning effect for some dirty stuck at the bottom of the swimming pool that is difficult to suck.

A monitoring apparatus monitors the user while the remote driving control for driving the vehicle in accordance with a command from the user outside the vehicle is being executed. The monitoring apparatus performs a watching notification for urging the user to watch the vehicle when a non-watching condition is satisfied. The non-watching condition is satisfied when a non-watching state in which the user does not watch the vehicle continues for a first predetermined time period or longer.

A remote operator terminal to be used by a remote operator for a remote operation of a target mobility is provided. The remote operator terminal includes: a plurality of types of operation systems; and a first user interface configured to allow the remote operator to select a first operation system to be used for the remote operation from among the plurality of types of operation systems.

A remote operator terminal to be used by a remote operator for a remote operation of a target mobility is provided. The remote operator terminal includes: a plurality of types of operation systems; and a notification device configured to notify the remote operator of information. A first operation system is one of the plurality of types of operation systems. The information indicates a relationship between a maximum operation amount of the first operation system and a current operation amount of the first operation system input by the remote operator, or the information indicates that the current operation amount reaches the maximum operation amount.

A movable platform for taking inventory and/or performing other actions on objects, the movable platform comprising a traction system for allowing the movable platform to circulate through an area, a sensor system for identifying objects in an area based on a characteristic, and for creating information indicative of the identified objects and the position of the identified objects relative to the movable platform and in absolute space coordinates, and a control system, wherein the control system is adapted to receive the information created by the sensor system and to determine a direction of movement or a partial path or a movement target for the movable platform based on the received information and without using a previously created map of the area.
