  • Autonomous setup and takedown of calibration environment for vehicle sensor calibration
    Patent number: 12000955
    Abstract: A computing device receives a setup command and signals mobile robots to move sensor targets into positions within a predetermined range of a turntable. Each mobile robot may be coupled to a sensor target. Once the sensor targets are moved into the positions, calibration may be initiated, in which a vehicle is rotated using the turntable, and sensors coupled to the vehicle are calibrated based on detection of the sensor targets. The computing device may signal the mobile robots to adjust the sensor targets as needed, or, after calibration, to move into storage or charging positions.
