20190192361 · 2019-06-27 ·

Provided are a mobility and a mobility system which enable a person who requires nursing care with a deteriorated bodily function or cognitive function to lead a life with greater independence. The drive and travel of the mobility by the travel drive unit are controlled by adjusting the current travel state of the mobility to an optimal travel state for ensuring safety while reflecting the user's intention based on the current operation instruction detected by the operation unit, the command signal generated by the voluntary control unit, the travel environment sensed by the environment sensing unit, and the respective types of environmental information acquired by the information acquisition unit.

Carriage with guided autonomous locomotion

Aspects relate to systems and methods for guided autonomous locomotion of a carriage, including a compartment configured to ensconce a child, a frame configured to support the compartment, a drive motor, a drivetrain operatively coupled to the drive motor; a drive wheel rotatably affixed to the frame, configured to contact a support surface and operatively coupled to the drivetrain, wherein operating the at least a drive motor causes the at least a drive wheel to rotate, an environmental sensor configured to sense an environmental characteristic related to an environment substantially surrounding the carriage; a battery configured to power the at drive motor and a controller configured to control the drive motor in response to the environmental characteristic.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCED BASE MAP GENERATION

A feature mapping computer system configured to (i) receive a localized image including a photo depicting a driving environment and location data associated with the photo, (ii) identify, using an image recognition module, a roadway feature depicted in the photo, (iii) generate, using a photogrammetry module, a point cloud based upon the photo and the location data, wherein the point cloud comprises a set of data points representing the driving environment in a three dimensional (3D) space, (iv) localize the point cloud by assigning a location to the point cloud based upon the location data, and (v) generate an enhanced base map that includes a roadway feature.
