Patent number: 11314254Abstract: Methods and apparatus for dynamically routing robots based on exploratory on-board mapping are disclosed. A control system of a robot includes an image manager to command a depth camera to capture depth images of an environment. The depth camera has a field of view. The control system further includes a map generator to generate a map of the environment based on the depth images. The map includes a representation of unoccupied space within the environment, and a path extending through the unoccupied space from a reference location of the robot to a target location of the robot. The control system further includes a field of view evaluator to determine whether the field of view associated with the reference location satisfies a threshold. The control system further includes a route generator to generate, in response to the field of view associated with the reference location satisfying the threshold, a route to be followed by the robot within the environment.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Leobardo Campos Macias, Rodrigo Aldana Lopez, Rafael de la Guardia Gonzalez, David Gomez Gutierrez, Jose Parra Vilchis

Patent number: 11238641Abstract: Systems and techniques for an architecture for contextual memories in map representation for 3D reconstruction and navigation are described herein. In an example, a system for contextual memory mapping is adapted to receive a data set of physical world sensor readings. The system may be further adapted to generate voxel data from the data set, the voxel data includes voxel coordinates and a physical world occupancy indicator. The system may be further adapted to select a block of addresses in the memory to store the voxel data. The system may be further adapted to generate a hash map to map voxel coordinates to memory locations in the block of addresses, the voxel coordinates having a contextual relationship that is maintained by the hash map. The system may be further adapted to store the voxel data at memory addresses based on the hash map.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jose Parra Vilchis, Rafael De La Guardia Gonzalez, Rodrigo Aldana Lopez, David Gomez Gutierrez, Leobardo Campos Macias

Patent number: 10957209Abstract: Methods and apparatus for preventing collisions between drones based on drone-to-drone acoustic communications are disclosed. A control system of a first drone includes a route manager to command the first drone to track a first route. The control system further includes a plurality of acoustic sensors arranged on the first drone to detect acoustic signals. The control system further includes a collision prevention engine to determine a second route based on acoustic signals detected by the acoustic sensors, the acoustic signals being received from a second drone while the first drone is tracking the first route. The second route differs from the first route to prevent a drone-to-drone collision between the first drone and the second drone. The collision prevention engine is to cause the route manager to command the first drone to track the second route instead of the first route.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2018Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Leobardo Campos Macias, Hector Cordourier Maruri, David Gomez Gutierrez, Rodrigo Aldana Lopez, Jose Parra Vilchis

Publication number: 20210034078Abstract: A drone controller comprises processing circuitry to, at a first time when the drone is in flight, to determine a drone state comprising a position and a velocity of the drone and determine a relative obstacle state comprising a relative position and a relative velocity of the drone with respect to an obstacle. The processor then determines a reaction to avoid the obstacle based on the relative obstacle state and applies a signal related to the reaction to one or more actuator control inputs of the drone that modifies a drone path existing at the first time to avoid the obstacle.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2017Publication date: February 4, 2021Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: David GOMEZ GUTIERREZ, Jose PARRA VILCHIS, Rafael DE LA GUARDIA GONZALEZ, Rodrigo ALDANA LOPEZ, Leobardo CAMPOS MACIAS

Patent number: 10737782Abstract: Systems and methods may include a lift drone and a carrier drone to convey a payload. The lift drone may vertically lift the payload, alone or with the carrier drone, to a transfer location. The carrier drone may receive control of the payload at the transfer location, such as by receiving physical transfer of the payload, taking over conveyance of the payload from the lift drone, or the like. The lift drone may remain coupled with the payload or the carrier drone or may decouple after transfer.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Willem M. Beltman, Bradley Alan Jackson, David Gomez Gutierrez, Jose Parra Vilchis, Rafael De La Guardia Gonzalez, Joshua Triska

Patent number: 10733896Abstract: Methods and apparatus for drone collision avoidance. Processing circuitry of a drone extracts information from an encoded image captured by a detection device with a field view overlapping the encoded image. Based on the extracted information a determination is made whether a collision will occur on the flight trajectory of the drone with an external source. The flight trajectory of the drone is then altered to avoid a collision.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Leobardo Campos Macias, Carl S.

Patent number: 10657833Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for drone collision avoidance that includes extracting first feature information from an image. The image is captured from a first camera oriented in a direction. Second feature information is received from an external source. The second feature information is extracted from a second image of the environment captured by a second camera oriented in the direction. The first feature information and the second feature information are matched. A second local frame of reference of the second feature information is transformed to a first local frame of reference of the first feature information to determine a location of the external source. If a collision with the external source will occur is determined based on the location of the external source and a current flight trajectory.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2017Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: David Gomez Gutierrez, Leobardo Campos Macias, Rodrigo Aldana Lopez, Rafael De La Guardia Gonzalez, Julio Zamora Esquivel, Jose Parra Vilchis, David Arditti Ilitzky
