  • Object classification for autonomous navigation systems
    Patent number: 11847832
    Abstract: A navigational control method for a mobile automation apparatus includes: controlling a depth sensor to capture depth data representing a portion of a facility containing an obstacle; identifying the obstacle from the depth data; determining a probability that the obstacle is static; based on the probability, assigning the obstacle one of a dynamic class, a static class, and at least one intermediate class; updating a map to include a position of the obstacle, and the assigned class; and selecting, based on the assigned class, a navigational control action from a first action type associated with the dynamic class and the intermediate class, and a second action type associated with the static class.

  • Operational State Detection for Obstacles in Mobile Robots
    Publication number: 20230236600
    Abstract: A method includes: capturing, using a sensor of a mobile robot, sensor data representing a physical environment of the mobile robot; detecting, from the sensor data, an obstacle in the physical environment; responsive to detecting the obstacle, determining from the sensor data whether the obstacle exhibits a predetermined attribute; assigning a first operational state or a second operational state to the obstacle, according to the determination; selecting a navigational constraint based on the assigned operational state; and controlling a locomotive assembly of the mobile robot to navigate the physical environment based on the selected navigational constraint.
