  • Patent number: 11362546
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to field of charging of a line follower robot, disclosing method, system, unit for controlling charging of the line follower robot. The charging control unit includes a line follower robot configured with a charging control system. The line follower robot follows a pre-programmed path for performance of a pre-programmed task. The line follower robot includes a ground contact wheel in connection with the pre-programmed path for an entire duration of performance of the pre-programmed task and a segmented wheel in connection with a power-communication track. The segmented wheel is divided into an equal number of different contact surfaces, and the different contact surfaces comprises a charging contact surface, a transmit contact surface, and a receive contact surface. The charging control unit further includes the power-communication-track constructed parallel to the pre-programmed path.

  • Patent number: 10817610
    Abstract: A method and hack protection system for providing hack protection in an autonomous vehicle is disclosed. The method includes generating, by the hack protection system, random power ON sequence, where the random power ON sequence is in encrypted format and generated during power ON of the autonomous vehicle. The method further includes detecting current flow to sensors in the autonomous vehicle, the sensors are controlled by power switching circuitry and is responsive to power switching control signals generated by a system software module in response to the random power ON sequence, the random power ON sequence being converted from the encrypted format into decrypted format by the system software module. The method includes determining actual power ON sequence of the sensors in response to the current flow. Moreover, the method includes comparing the actual power ON sequence with the random power ON sequence to control power of the autonomous vehicle.
