  • Publication number: 20240111303
    Abstract: Systems and methods of manipulating/controlling robots. In many scenarios, data collected by a sensor (connected to a robot) may not have very high precision (e.g., a regular commercial/inexpensive sensor) or may be subjected to dynamic environmental changes. Thus, the data collected by the sensor may not indicate the parameter captured by the sensor with high accuracy. The present robotic control system is directed at such scenarios. In some embodiments, the disclosed embodiments can be used for computing a sliding velocity limit boundary for a spatial controller. In some embodiments, the disclosed embodiments can be used for teleoperation of a vehicle located in the field of view of a camera.

  • Publication number: 20240078763
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for determining three-dimensional locations of objects within a video stream and linking those objects with known objects. An image processing system may receive an image and image metadata and detect an object and a location of the object within the image. The estimated location of each object is then determined within the three-dimensional space. In addition, the image processing system may retrieve, for a plurality of known objects, a plurality of known locations within the three-dimensional space and determine, based on estimated location and the known location data, which of the known objects matches the detected object in the image. An indicator for the object is then generated at the location of the object within the image.
