  • Vehicle sensor field calibration utilizing other vehicles
    Patent number: 11454525
    Abstract: A system and method for determining if a field calibration of a subject sensor associated with a vehicle is warranted, and calibrating the subject sensor using a sensor associated with another vehicle when calibration is warranted. Reference vehicles may perform predetermined maneuvers in order to provide additional measurements for use during calibration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 19, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 27, 2022
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH

  • Method and Device for Operating a Robot with Improved Object Detection
    Publication number: 20220119007
    Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for improved object detection in an area surrounding a robot. In the method, first and second sensing data are obtained, which can be assigned to a first or second sensing means of the robot, respectively, and which contain at least one portion of the area surrounding the robot. An objection detection of an object in the area surrounding the robot is carried out using a fusion of at least the first and the second sensing data. An item of redundancy information is generated, which is assigned to the object detection and at least indicates whether the detected object has been detected using only the first or only the second sensing data or whether the detected object or at least one or more sections of same has been detected redundantly using both the first and the second sensing data.
