  • Patent number: 11525691
    Abstract: A motion planning system includes: a processor; and memory to store instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: identify a reference path between a departure point and a destination point in an environment including one or more obstacles; generate decomposition segments of a space surrounding the reference path, the decomposition segments including a first free-space segment and a second free-space segment that are devoid of the obstacles; generating a first path segment relative to the reference path for traversing the first free-space segment, and a second path segment relative to the reference path for traversing the second free-space segment; and connecting the first and second path segments to each other to generate a navigational path to traverse the environment.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10789659
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method to provide information characterizing real-estate market conditions within a geographic sub-region included within a larger geographic region is described herein. An indication of the geographic sub-region is received from a user. A memory device on which is stored information characterizing a set of parcels of real property that have been listed for sale is accessed. A parcel of real property located in the sub-region and for which a purchase offer has been made is identified from the stored information. If a purchase transaction for the parcel of real property has not closed, a range of a plurality of values characterizing the purchase offer is provided in at least one graphical user interface. If a purchase transaction for the parcel of real property has closed, a specific value of the plurality of values characterizing the purchase offer is provided in at least one graphical user interface.
