  • Patent number: 11934198
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for autonomous vehicle operation, in which a processor is configured to receive sensor data collected by a first sensor of a first autonomous vehicle during navigation of the first autonomous vehicle through a particular location and prior to a control signal subsequently generated by a controller of the first autonomous vehicle; determine based on the sensor data an event that triggered the control signal. A communication device coupled to the processor is configured to transmit to a second autonomous vehicle an instruction, based on the determined event, to adjust sensor data collected by a second sensor of the second autonomous vehicle during navigation of the second autonomous vehicle in the particular location.

  • Patent number: 11906980
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for autonomous vehicle operation. A computing system can include a communication device configured to receive a plurality of event signals from at least a first autonomous vehicle that is traversing a path, and a processor in electrical communication with the communication device and configured to determine whether the event signals are indicative of an obstacle in a portion of the path. The communication device can be configured to receive, from at least a second autonomous vehicle, at least one characteristic of the obstacle captured by at least one sensor of the second autonomous vehicle, and transmit, to at least a third autonomous vehicle, at least one task to clear the obstacle from the portion of the path. The processor can be configured to determine, based on the characteristic of the obstacle, the at least one task to be transmitted by the communication device.

  • Publication number: 20220291681
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for autonomous vehicle operation, including systems and methods for edge and/or guard detection in autonomous vehicle operation. The system can include a processor configured to receive sensor data collected by a sensor of a first autonomous vehicle; determine that the sensor data is indicative of an edge in a navigation path of the first autonomous vehicle and that the edge is not a known feature; and adjust a map to include the edge, in which the map includes the navigation path.

  • Publication number: 20220194428
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are computing systems and computer-implemented methods for autonomous vehicle operation. The computing system can include a processor configured to determine a transformation function based on a current position of at least one sensor of a first autonomous vehicle relative to a body of the first autonomous vehicle such that, when the transformation function is applied to images captured by the sensor, the images are adjusted to correspond to an intended position of the sensor relative to the body of the first autonomous vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8878772
    Abstract: A display system includes a display device having multiple possible poses, including a neutral pose. A physical constraint maintains the display device in the neutral pose absent an application of an external force. A sensor measures a magnitude and direction of a displacement of the display device to a displaced pose due to the application of the external force. Then, the rendering engine renders an image on the display device according to the magnitude and direction of the displacement even while the display device remains constant in the displaced pose.

  • Publication number: 20140040059
    Abstract: Systems and methods for online digital gift delivery include receiving from a gift sender a request to deliver a digital gift to a gift recipient. In response to instructions received from the gift sender via a user interface provided to the gift sender responsive to receiving the request, a digital gift container including a digital gift presentation and an indication of the digital gift is generated. The digital gift presentation is configured to display a customized arrangement of data content objects and configured to reveal the indication of the digital gift responsive to a gift presentation policy specifying one or more conditions for revealing the indication. The gift recipient is then provided access to the digital gift container. The indication of the digital gift is revealed in response to determining that one or more conditions of the gift presentation policy have been met.
