Patent number: 11964393Abstract: A robot control system determines which of a number of discretizations to use to generate discretized representations of robot swept volumes and to generate discretized representations of the environment in which the robot will operate. Obstacle voxels (or boxes) representing the environment and obstacles therein are streamed into the processor and stored in on-chip environment memory. At runtime, the robot control system may dynamically switch between multiple motion planning graphs stored in off-chip or on-chip memory. The dynamically switching between multiple motion planning graphs at runtime enables the robot to perform motion planning at a relatively low cost as characteristics of the robot itself change. Various aspects of such robot motion planning are implemented in particular systems and methods that facilitate motion planning of the robot for various environments and tasks.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: REALTIME ROBOTICS, INC.Inventors: Daniel Sorin, George Konidaris, Sean Murray, William Floyd-Jones, Peter Howard, Xianchao Long
