  • Publication number: 20240118419
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a localization method and apparatus, and a computer apparatus and a computer-readable storage medium. The localization method includes performing radar mapping and visual mapping by respectively using a radar and a vision sensor, wherein a step of the vision mapping includes determining a pose of a key frame; and combining radar localization with vision localization based on the pose of the key frame, to use vision localization results for navigation on a map obtained by the radar mapping.

  • Publication number: 20240083030
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for path optimization, a robot and a storage medium. The method includes: acquiring an initial path of a robot, and iteratively optimizing the initial path until a preset iteration termination condition is met to obtain obstacle avoidance path of the robot: acquiring an iteration path corresponding to a current iteration process, determining a smoothness cost and a smoothness optimal gradient; determining a robot's footprint contour corresponding to the iteration path point, and searching for a first nearest obstacle distance; determining an obstacle cost corresponding to the iteration path and an obstacle optimal gradient corresponding to the iteration path point based on the first nearest obstacle distance; adjusting the iteration path point to acquire an iteration path corresponding to a next iteration process; inputting the smoothness cost and the obstacle cost to a preset objective function.

  • Patent number: 11916884
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a vehicle and a vehicle security control method and system based on an open platform. The open platform includes a software development kit in which a control protocol is encapsulated, the software development kit provides an API function interface, and the method includes: receiving a call request from a third-party device for a target API function interface of the open platform; converting the call request by using the software development kit to generate a control signal that meets a requirement of the control protocol and that is used for controlling a first vehicle component in a vehicle; and transmitting the control signal to a security gateway through a first bus, to enable the security gateway to perform protocol conversion on the control signal, and transmitting the control signal to an in-vehicle network to control the first vehicle component in the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20170081701
    Abstract: A device and method for determining the presence or absence, or the level of, sPLA2 activity in a fluid sample. The device includes an absorbent matrix that defines a flow path for a fluid sample, a first region of the absorbent matrix for applying a fluid sample, where one of the components selected from a bioactive sPLA2 substrate and a label is dried onto or within the first region of the absorbent matrix, a second region of the absorbent matrix downstream of, and in fluid communication with, the first region for detecting an aggregated reaction product, where the other component not present in the first region is dried onto or within the second region of the absorbent matrix.

  • Publication number: 20150079607
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods useful to monitor central and peripheral nervous system neuron/axon destruction resulting from an increase in acute phase inflammatory enzymes. The methods have applicability to monitoring the progress of neurological diseases, including multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, as well as neuroinflammatory damage that results from sports injuries, vigorous physical activity or any form of physical abuse. The invention further relates to methods of treating multiple sclerosis or other diseases with an inflammatory component related to phospholipase A2.
