  • Publication number: 20230048578
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for real-time determinations of likelihoods for possible trajectories of a collaborator in a workspace with a robot. The system determines a current kinematic state of the collaborator and determines a goal of the collaborator based on occupancy information about objects in the workspace. The system also determines a possible trajectory for the collaborator based on the goal and the current kinematic state and determines a short-horizon trajectory for the collaborator based on previously observed kinematic states of the collaborator towards the goal. The system also determines a likelihood that the collaborator will follow the possible trajectory based on the short-horizon trajectory, the goal, and the current kinematic state. The system also generates a movement instruction to control movement of the robot based on the likelihood that the collaborator will follow the possible trajectory.

  • Patent number: 11455793
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to facilitate, in autonomous vehicles, the robust detection and classification of objects in a scene using a static sensors in conjunction with event-based sensors. A trained system architecture may be implemented, and the fusion of both sensors thus allows for the consideration of scenes with overexposure, scenes with underexposure, as well as scenes in which there is no movement. In doing so, the autonomous vehicle may detect and classify objects in conditions in which each sensor, if operating separately, would not otherwise be able to classify (or classify with high uncertainty) due to the sensing environment.

  • Publication number: 20220236748
    Abstract: A robot configured to be operable within a multi-robot system. The robot includes an input configured to receive global coordinate state information of the robot and of any neighboring robots or obstacles; and processing circuitry configured to: transform the global coordinate state information into a relative coordinate system that is with respect to the robot and is based on a type of desired formation of the robot and any neighboring robots or obstacles around a point; generate a reference formation algorithm which is based on the desired formation; and controlling, based on the reference formation algorithm and tracking errors between the desired formation and a current state of the robot, a trajectory of the robot to converge towards the desired formation while avoiding collisions with any neighboring robots or obstacles.

  • Publication number: 20220236736
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for a decentralized path and motion planning of autonomous agents within an environment. The planning may include determining if an active neighboring autonomous agent is present and selectively controlling the autonomous agent to operation in in an independent path planning operation mode and in a coordinating path planning operation mode, based on the detection of the neighboring agent(s).

  • Publication number: 20210309264
    Abstract: A human-robot collaboration system, including at least one processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to: predict a human atomic action based on a probability density function of possible human atomic actions for performing a predefined task; and plan a motion of the robot based on the predicted human atomic action.

  • Patent number: 11119507
    Abstract: An apparatus of an autonomous device comprises one or more state estimators to estimate one or more states of the autonomous device, wherein the one or more state estimators are to generate one or more derivatives of translational measurements, orientation measurements, reference translational values, and reference orientation values, and one or more controllers to receive an output from the one or more state estimators to provide control signals to control the autonomous device. The one or more state estimators include a hardware differentiator to generate the one or more derivatives.

  • Patent number: 11004332
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to facilitate cooperative mapping for safe and efficient trajectory planning and collision avoidance by allowing nearby agents to share contextual information. The described techniques also function to extend the mapping range of a single agent by leveraging observations made by multiple agents. Furthermore, the techniques as described herein function to reduce uncertainty in trajectory planning by allowing agents to “see” behind occlusions, thus taking advantage of observations made by neighboring agents from different points of view. An efficient hardware implementation of the system is also presented that leverages the methodologies as discussed herein.
