Abstract:
An indoor environmental control system having an indoor environmental control device (40) to control at least one indoor environment, including a mobile sensor (10) being movable and comprising a wireless transmitting/receiving part (22) to wirelessly transmit/receive information, an indoor environmental sensor (12) to sense the indoor environment, and a controller (24) to transmit the information on the indoor environment sensed by the indoor environmental sensor through the wireless transmitting/receiving part; the indoor environmental control device further including a control server (30) receiving the information transmitted from the mobile sensor so as to control the indoor environmental control device on the basis of the received information.
Abstract:
A remotely controlled robot 1 comprises a unit 2 storing the layout plan of a building, a unit 3 receiving a position remotely designated in the layout plan from a remote location and a unit 4 controlling the travel of the robot to the designated position. A self-position identification method is implemented by a robot with a camera whose shooting direction can be changed. The robot takes in advance a panoramic picture of a room where the robot may travel, generates a reference picture by extracting a plurality of block pictures from the panoramic picture and identifies a room where the robot is located, by applying correlation and DP matching, using both a picture taken in the room where the robot is located and the reference picture.
Abstract:
An autonomously movable cleaning robot comprising a platform and motive force to autonomously move the robot on a substantially horizontal surface having boundaries. The robot further has a computer processing unit for storing, receiving and transmitting data, and a cleaning implement operatively associated with the robot. The robot receives input data from an external source. The external source may be physical manipulation of the robot, remote control, or by triangulation from at least three external transmitters.
Abstract:
The autonomous mobile robot system is provided with a sensor-based and map-based navigation system for navigating in a pipe network. The navigation is based on the classification of pre-existing natural landmarks. The navigation system can compensate for inaccurate robot system's motion control, sensor information, and landmark classification.
Abstract:
This invention is intended to periodically correct the position and posture of an automatically steerable unmanned moving body according to a guiding method with the aid of dead reckoning or the like. A plurality of sets of at least two ground marks (8) are placed on the movement passage of the unmanned moving body (1) in a spaced relation along a reference passage (15) and the ground marks (8) are visually recognized by means of a television camera (6) or the like means mounted on the unmanned moving body. Then, the existent position and posture of the unmanned moving body (1) are detected with reference to the results of visual recognization and thereafter the position and posture of the unmanned moving body (1) which have been calculated in accordance with the aforesaid guiding method or the like are corrected in accordance with the thus detected results.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method and device for mapping an artificial mark and a method and device for measuring the position of a moving body using the same are provided to measure the position of the moving body by using a coordinate value of an artificial mark stored in a map information DB and the relative position information of the artificial mark. CONSTITUTION: An environment information obtaining unit measures the position information of surrounding objects with an artificial mark and the position information of the moving body. An artificial mark detector(106) obtains the image of the artificial mark. An artificial mark detecting block(110) calculates the relative position information of the artificial mark by analyzing the obtained image, the position information of the surrounding objects, and the position information of the moving body. A mapping unit(114) calculates the coordinate of the artificial mark by using the relative position information and stores the coordinate and the ID of the artificial mark in a database(116) as map information.
