  • Route planning in an autonomous device
    Patent number: 10809734
    Abstract: An example system includes a computing system configured to identify an event in an area between a first location and a second location and to adjust, based on the event, content of a cost map containing a representation of one or more routes between the first location and the second location. The system also includes an autonomous device configured to move between the first location and the second location based on the cost map.

  • CONTROLLING MOVEMENT OF AUTONOMOUS DEVICE
    Publication number: 20200004247
    Abstract: An example system includes an autonomous device. The system includes a movement assembly to move the autonomous device, memory storing information about classes of objects and storing rules governing operation of the autonomous device based on a class of an object in a path of the autonomous device, one or more sensors to detect at least one attribute of the object, and one or more processing devices. The one or more processing devices determine the class of the object based on the at least one attribute, execute a rule to control the autonomous device based on the class, and control the movement assembly based on the rule.
