Abstract: The invention relates to method for navigating within a navigation area (2), wherein a plurality of navigation tags (1) has been mounted at predetermined positions within the navigation area (2). To solve the object of the invention to provide a method and system for accurate and flexible navigating in various types of navigation scenarios, it is proposed that the method comprises the steps of: determining a sequence of navigation tags (1), which are associated with a desired route within the navigation area (2), based on the positions of the navigation tags (7) and on topographic information (8) on the navigation area (2); and navigating said route by passing navigation tags (1) of said sequence of navigation tags, whereby passing of a navigation tag is acknowledged (12, 13). The invention further relates to a system and a computer program product for navigating within a navigation area (2).

Abstract: A mobile robot guest for interacting with a human resident performs a room-traversing search procedure prior to interacting with the resident, and may verbally query whether the resident being sought is present. Upon finding the resident, the mobile robot may facilitate a teleconferencing session with a remote third party, or interact with the resident in a number of ways. For example, the robot may carry on a dialogue with the resident, reinforce compliance with medication or other schedules, etc. In addition, the robot incorporates safety features for preventing collisions with the resident; and the robot may audibly announce and/or visibly indicate its presence in order to avoid becoming a dangerous obstacle. Furthermore, the mobile robot behaves in accordance with an integral privacy policy, such that any sensor recording or transmission must be approved by the resident.

Abstract: A method of responding to environmental change to build an environment map of a mobile apparatus and an apparatus thereof are disclosed. The apparatus includes a traveling unit traveling a mobile apparatus according to a command, a distance measuring unit measuring a distance from the mobile apparatus to a moving object, an environment map-generating unit generating an environment map based on a measured distance, a moving object detecting unit detecting the moving object moved after generating the environment map by comparing a distance from the mobile apparatus to the moving object with the newly measured distance, and a controlling unit updating the environment map according to the command by selectively applying changed environment information containing the moving object to the built environment map when the moving object is detected. Thus, the changed environmental information can be rapidly and precisely applied to build the environment map.

Abstract: Die Erfindung beschreibt ein Orientierungs- und Kartenerstellungsverfahren für mobile Einheiten, die sich in einer unbekannten Umgebung bewegen. Zur Korrektur der Position der mobilen Einheit in der Umgebungskarte und der Lage einer Landmarke in der Umgebungskarte wird von einer bestimmten Position aus aufgrund der Bewegungshistorie ein bestimmter Abstand zur Landmarke prädiziert, und aufgrund der aktuellen Position ein bestimmter Abstand zur Landmarke gemessen. Dieser Unterschied, der zwischen der prädizierten und der gemessenen Entfernung zur Landmarke auftritt, wird als Systemfehler bezeichnet. Der Systemfehler wird nun in Kenntnis der Unsicherheit, die bei der Positionsbestimmung der mobilen Einheit und die bei der Lagebestimmung der Landmarke auftritt, in deren Verhältnis aufgeteilt und zur Korrektur der Position der mobilen Einheit und der Lage der Landmarke in der Umgebungskarte verwendet. So können die genannten Unsicherheiten während der Bewegung der mobilen Einheit verringert werden. Einsatzgebiete des Verfahrens liegen im Bereich von Haushaltsrobotern, von Industrierobotern, oder beispielsweise autonomen Transportfahrzeugen.
