Patent number: 11682193Abstract: An automatic guided vehicle (AGV) comprising a mobile base including a drive train and configured to drive the AGV in a self-navigation mode within a facility, a first camera configured to capture first image data of objects within the facility, a second camera configured to capture second image data of objects within the facility, the second camera including a content filter, and a main control module configured to receive the first and second image data from the first and second cameras. The main control module executes a recognition neural network program. The neural network program recognizes targets in the first image data. The main control module also executes a supervisor program under user control. The supervisor program is receives the second image data and recognizes markers attached to targets in the second image data. The supervisor program produces a supervised outcome in which targets to which markers are attached are associated with categories based on user commands.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2021Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Lingdong Technology (Beijing) Co. Ltd.Inventors: Chiung-Lin Chen, Meng Yao
