Abstract: Traveling surface shape data of only a selection region selected on the basis of target foot placement information of a moving apparatus and a search range region is generated and a foot placement position and the like of the moving apparatus are determined, so that the processing load is reduced and high-speed processing is enabled. A data processing unit that analyzes detection information of a visual sensor and determines a movement route of the moving apparatus is provided, and the data processing unit generates traveling surface shape data such as three-dimensional point cloud data that enables analysis of a shape of a traveling surface of the moving apparatus. The data processing unit selects a generation target region of the traveling surface shape data on the basis of the target movement route information of the moving apparatus and a predetermined search range region, generates the traveling surface shape data in the selection region selected, and determines a movement route such as a foot placement position of the moving apparatus with reference to the generated traveling surface shape data.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that allow smooth movement of a mobile body. The information processing apparatus includes a position information acquisition unit, a posture information acquisition unit, a generation unit, and a mobile body controller. The position information acquisition unit acquires position information of a mobile body. The posture information acquisition unit acquires posture information of the mobile body. The generation unit generates a target trajectory to a target point, the target trajectory including a plurality of waypoints each including waypoint information including a position command value and a posture command value for the mobile body. The mobile body controller extracts waypoints existing within a threshold distance from the mobile body using the position information and the position command value, selects a waypoint having a smallest difference between the posture command value, and sets the waypoint as a reference point.

Abstract: A robotic system coordinates collision-free self-storage of a robot. The robotic system initiates and performs a controlled collapse of the robot into a pre-defined compact geometry that permits self-storage in a confined, compact area when not in use. The system also coordinates collision-free self-deployments of the robot into a deployed geometry suitable for performing autonomous tasks outside of the compact storage area. The system includes a collapsible robot configured to extend and retract at least one robotic arm to perform tasks above a worksurface, a powered docking station positioned below the worksurface and including a power source interface to electrically couple the collapsible robot to a power source, and control circuitry for coordinating movements of the collapsible robot-such as collision-free self-collapse, collision-free self-deployments, and collision-free ingress and egress of the robot into and out of the compact storage area.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a robot includes monitoring a safety condition and operating the robot in a limitation operating mode for as long as the monitored safety condition is not fulfilled. A deceleration of the robot is commanded and monitored in the limitation operating mode for as long as the robot exceeds a velocity limit.

Abstract: A robot system includes: an upper body section including one or more end-effectors; a lower body section including one or more legs; and an intermediate body section coupling the upper and lower body sections. An upper body control system operates at least one of the end-effectors. The intermediate body section experiences a first intermediate body linear force and/or moment based on an end-effector force acting on the at least one end-effector. A lower body control system operates the one or more legs. The one or more legs experience respective surface reaction forces. The intermediate body section experiences a second intermediate body linear force and/or moment based on the surface reaction forces. The lower body control system operates the one or more legs so that the second intermediate body linear force balances the first intermediate linear force and the second intermediate body moment balances the first intermediate body moment.

Abstract: A robotic device may traverse a path in a direction of locomotion. Sensor data indicative of one or more physical features of the environment in the direction of locomotion may be received. The implementation may further involve determining that traversing the path involves traversing the one or more physical features of the environment. Based on the sensor data indicative of the one or more physical features of the environment in the direction of locomotion, a hydraulic pressure to supply to the one or more hydraulic actuators to traverse the one or more physical features of the environment may be predicted. Before traversing the one or more physical features of the environment, the hydraulic drive system may adjust pressure of supplied hydraulic fluid from the first pressure to the predicted hydraulic pressure.

Abstract: Described is a system for robot supervisory control. The system includes an operator device that receives camera imagery from a camera mounted on a robot and three-dimensional (3D) data from a 3D sensor mounted on the robot. The user interface displays a two-dimensional (2D) view of the scene from the camera and 3D sensor data. One or more object markers of objects in the scene are overlaid on the 2D view or 3D sensor data. Viewing the scene, the user can choose a robotic action from a library of actions, which generates a simulation of the robot performing the selected action. The simulation is then rendered and overlaid on top of the 3D sensor data. Moreover, the simulation shows the expected variability of the robot's action. Based on the simulation's outcome, the user can approve and trigger the execution of the action in the real robot.

Abstract: A control system, method and computer program product cooperate to assist control for an autonomous robot. The system includes a communications interface that exchanges information with the autonomous robot. A user interface displays a scene of a location in which the autonomous robot is positioned, and also receives an indication of a user selection of a user selected area within the scene. The communications interface transmits an indication of said user selected area to the autonomous robot for further processing of the area by said autonomous

Abstract: A system and method for interaction, navigation and control of an autonomous robot. The system comprises of two electronic devices, which are compatible with all operating systems and also compatible with magnetic trigger of a virtual reality device. When a virtual reality application run, the application provides two scenes at the display. The interaction, navigation and control over the autonomous robot is based on movement triggered from the virtual reality device. On moving the head upwards and downwards the robot will move forward and backward respectively. The left and right movement of the platform would result in the brain infrastructure movement of the robot. The robot can interact with people in real time and it can also identify if the robot had already interacted with person. The robot can identify person on gender, age, voice and face recognition basis and it can also make calls, texts and clicking selfies etc.
