  • Intelligent cleaning robot
    Patent number: 12038756
    Abstract: An intelligent, autonomous interior cleaning robot capable of autonomously mapping and cleaning multiple rooms in a house in an intelligent manner is described. Various combinations of passive and active sensors may be used to perform mapping, localization, and obstacle avoidance. In particular, the robot uses stereo cameras with a static projected light pattern to generate 3D data. In addition, the robot may use optical sensors in various locations, laser ToF sensors, inertial measurement units and visual odometry to enhance the localization and mapping capabilities.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 19, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 16, 2024
    Assignee: Carnegie Mellon University
    Inventors: Herman Herman, Karl Muecke, Jose Gonzalez-Mora, Raphael Bouterige, Jason Kulk, Jaime Bourne, Jean-Phillipe Tardif

  • Energy optimized imaging system with 360 degree field-of-view
    Patent number: 10679370
    Abstract: A system for creating a near-spherical point cloud of RGBD data includes one or more sensing units for providing depth data, each sensing unit having a stereo pair of sensors fitted with the wide-angle lens from which a one-dimensional line of pixels is read, and one or more lasers for illuminating the single line of pixels, the sensing units mounted on a spinning platform. The spinning platform is mounted on the base having a plurality of cameras mounted therein for providing 360-degree RGB data.
