  • Patent number: 11958194
    Abstract: Motion parameters estimation for localization of differential drive vehicles is an important part of robotics and autonomous navigation. Conventional methods require introceptive as well extroceptive sensors for localization. The present disclosure provides a control command based adaptive system and method for estimating motion parameters of differential drive vehicles. The method utilizes information from one or more time synchronized command signals and generate an experimental model for estimating one or more motion parameters of the differential drive vehicle by computing a mapping function. The experimental model is validated to determine change in the one or more motion parameters with change in one or more factors and adaptively updated to estimate updated value of the one or more motion parameters based on the validation. The system and method of present disclosure provide accurate results for localization with minimum use of extroceptive sensors.

  • Patent number: 11809989
    Abstract: When a signal glitches, logic receiving the signal may change in response, thereby charging and/or discharging nodes within the logic and dissipating power. Providing a glitch-free signal may reduce the number of times the nodes are charged and/or discharged, thereby reducing the power dissipation. A technique for eliminating glitches in a signal is to insert a storage element that samples the signal after it is done changing to produce a glitch-free output signal. The storage element is enabled by a “ready” signal having a delay that matches the delay of circuitry generating the signal. The technique prevents the output signal from changing until the final value of the signal is achieved. The output signal changes only once, typically reducing the number of times nodes in the logic receiving the signal are charged and/or discharged so that power dissipation is also reduced.
