Abstract:
모터에 의해 구동하는 차륜을 가지는 주행부와, 주행 방향의 장해물을 검출하는 환경 인식 센서를 가지는 상체부로 이루어지는 자율 이동 장치에 있어서, 상기 상체부에는 자기의 위치와 장해물을 인식하는 수단과, 장해물의 회피 능력을 평가하는 수단과, 상기 장해물과의 충돌 회피 능력을 판단하는 수단과, 이 충돌 회피 능력으로부터 장해물의 통과 추정 영역에 대한 충돌 회피의 우선도를 구하는 수단을 구비함과 함께, 상기 우선도가 높은 장해물의 통과 추정 영역이 상기 주행부가 위치하는 영역에 중복되지 않는 영역이며, 상기 우선도가 낮은 장해물의 통과 추정 영역이 상기 주행부가 존재하는 영역과 중복하더라도 충돌을 피할 수 있는 범위로 이동시키는 제어부를 구비하도록 하였다.
Abstract:
Method for correcting a movement trajectory in a personal assistance device (DADP) equipped with at least one sensor device (USCAP) and a control unit (UC), the method comprising measuring the distance between the at least one sensor (USCAP) and an obstacle, separating a reference frame (P) representing pairs (C V1ω1 ) of values of translational speeds (V1) and rotational speeds (ω1) into two half-planes, using at least one separation straight line (LP) of the reference frame (P), into an exclusion zone and an admissible movement space (MA), defining a second rotational speed (ω2) and a second translational speed (V2) by projecting a control point (CP) into the delimited admissible space (MA).
Abstract:
A telepresence robot may include a drive system, a control system, an imaging system, and a mapping module. The mapping module may access a plan view map of an area and tags associated with the area. In various embodiments, each tag may include tag coordinates and tag information, which may include a tag annotation. A tag identification system may identify tags within a predetermined range of the current position and the control system may execute an action based on an identified tag whose tag information comprises a telepresence robot action modifier. The telepresence robot may rotate an upper portion independent from a lower portion. A remote terminal may allow an operator to control the telepresence robot using any combination of control methods, including by selecting a destination in a live video feed, by selecting a destination on a plan view map, or by using a joystick or other peripheral device.
Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods are described for moving a patient to and from various locations, care units, etc., within a care facility. For example a transport and support vehicle includes a body structure including a plurality of rotatable members operable to frictionally interface the vehicle to a travel path and to move the vehicle along the travel path, and a surface structured and dimensioned to support an individual subject. A transport and support vehicle can include, for example, an elevator interface module that provides communicate and control of elevator controller.
