Patent number: 11940797Abstract: Techniques for navigating semi-autonomous mobile robots are described. A semi-autonomous mobile robot moves within an environment to complete a task. A navigation server communicates with the robot and provides the robot information. The robot includes a navigation map of the environment, interaction information, and a security level. To complete the task, the robot transmits a route reservation request to the navigation server, the route reservation request including a priority for the task, a timeslot, and a route. The navigation server grants the route reservation if the task priority is higher than the task priorities of conflicting route reservation requests from other robots. As the robot moves within the environment, the robot detects an object and attempts to classify the detected object as belonging to an object category. The robot retrieves an interaction profile for the object, and interacts with the object according to the retrieved interaction profile.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Lior Storfer, Tamara Gaidar, Ido Lapidot

Patent number: 6944706Abstract: A broadband gateway 135 that combines a broadband modem 120 and a residential gateway 130 in a single unit. The single unit features a unique dual bridge, shared module architecture that reduces redundancy in the broadband gateway 135 at the same time it minimizes interactions between modules in the broadband gateway 135. This minimized interaction permits the broadband gateway 135 to operate at peak efficiency and allows for continued development of portions of the broadband gateway 135 without necessarily incurring compliance testing for the broadband portion of the broadband gateway 135.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2002Date of Patent: September 13, 2005Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Mariano R. Schain, Jeff Mandin, Lior Storfer
