Abstract: Systems and methods that enhance the navigation of autonomous mobile robots in dynamic environments, such as inspection yards or manufacturing facilities in which positions and states of objects frequently change. This is achieved by integrating static maps, which provide information about permanent structures and areas, with dynamic maps, which focus on zones with movable objects and inspection zones where the robot performs tasks like monitoring or object inspection. Various embodiments utilize simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques to generate maps that account for frequently changing elements in the environments. Real-time map generation and updates comprise splitting an environmental map into static and dynamic regions and calculating the robot's absolute position in the environment and its relative position to objects of interest.

Abstract: A preparation method for silicon dioxide, controls temperature, pH and stirring rate in steps of preparing a silicon dioxide solution to exert an influence on the stability of a silicon dioxide solution gel system. The prepared silicon dioxide solution has a low viscosity, and finally prepared silicon dioxide has a high dispersity. The prepared silicon dioxide solution with a low viscosity will not adhere to a reaction tank, thus being easy to discharge. When the silicon dioxide prepared by the preparation method is used for preparing a toothpaste, since the silicon dioxide shows high dispersity due to its large BET specific area, low oil absorption and low viscosity, paste of the prepared toothpaste is not prone to caking and can be rinsed off easily. The paste of the prepared toothpaste shows high stability in a follow-up test of the viscosity stability of the toothpaste, thus being suitable for long-term storage.
