  • Publication number: 20240077880
    Abstract: A slope location correction method, comprising the following steps: measuring location data, in a predetermined area, of a robot by using an inertial measurement element of the robot, and calculating a pose of the robot in the predetermined area according to the location data: determining whether there is a slope in the predetermined area by means of the pose of the robot; and if it is determined that there is a slope in the predetermined area, compensating for a location error at the slope by using the pose corresponding to the slope. The present application further relates to a slope location correction apparatus, a robot and a readable storage medium.

  • Publication number: 20230066441
    Abstract: A multi-sensor fusion SLAM system and a robot. The system operates on a mobile robot and comprises: a visual inertia module, a laser scanning matching module, a loop closure detection module, and a visual laser image optimization module. According to the multi-sensor fusion SLAM system and the robot, the calculation amount of laser matching constraint optimization can be reduced by using a voxel subgraph so that the pose calculation is more accurate, accumulated errors of long-time operation of the system can be corrected in time by means of sufficient fusion of modules, and the robustness of the system and the accuracy of positioning and mapping are integrally improved.

  • Patent number: 7095845
    Abstract: A dual hysteresis signal detection circuit is proposed for detecting a duration of a signal with two hysteresis comparators. There is a first band pass filter for inputting the signal and outputting the signal having a first frequency. A first hysteresis comparator electrically couples to the first band pass filter for comparing with the first frequency of the signal to output a first square wave signal according a first high voltage and a first low voltage. A second hysteresis comparator electrically couples to the first band pass filter for comparing with the first frequency of the signal to output a second square wave signal according to a second high voltage and a second low voltage. A first detection circuit electrically couples to the first hysteresis comparator for detecting a part of the signal having the first frequency that is higher than the first high voltage and lower than the first low voltage to output a first detection signal according to the first square wave signal.
