  • Patent number: 11989945
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for assisting in the detection of elements in an environment, comprising: the acquisition of a first wide-field image of an environment by a first sensor (14A) having a first field of view and a first resolution, the generation of a fused image from first narrow-field images of the environment acquired by a second sensor (14B) having a second field of view strictly less than the first field of view and a second resolution finer than the first resolution, In response to the detection of a difference relating to an element on a second wide-field image acquired by the first sensor (14A), compared to the first wide-field image, the acquisition of a second narrow-field image imaging the difference, and the update the fused image with the second narrow-field image.

  • Patent number: 8978792
    Abstract: A climbing robot that can move along a post having a vertical axis comprises a frame fitted with motorized movement assembly for moving along the post and with a module for controlling and commanding the motorized movement assembly. The motorized movement assembly comprises a bracing structure wherein the center of gravity is at a distance from the axis of the post and which comprise at least two rolling contact elements designed to be in contact with the post, including at least one motorized rolling contact element called the propulsion contact element.

  • Patent number: 5987364
    Abstract: A control device for making safe a fast vehicle comprises a servomechanism that, in response to a reference variable relating to the longitudinal speed of the vehicle, adapts in real time an actuator variable of a motor element of the vehicle until an actuator variable of a steering element corresponds to a reference variable relating to the transverse displacement of the vehicle, which makes it possible to make safe the longitudinal and transverse displacements of the vehicle, even at high longitudinal speed.
