Abstract: A peer-to-peer (P2P) vehicle sharing method is disclosed. The method may include obtaining a list of rent requests and associated requested rental durations, and a list of available vehicles and associated vehicle availability time periods. The list of rent requests may represent first nodes and the list of available vehicles may represent second nodes of a vehicle-renter graph. The method may further include obtaining a list of edges that connects at least one first node and at least one second node. The method may further include receiving a predefined trigger event and updating the list of edges in response to receiving the predefined trigger event. Furthermore, the method may include transmitting a vehicle reservation notification to at least one renter and at least one vehicle owner based on the updated list of edges.

Abstract: A peer-to-peer (P2P) vehicle sharing method is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request from a user to rent a vehicle. The request includes a rent time period. The method further includes receiving a plurality of inputs associated with the user. The plurality of inputs includes a vehicle type for the vehicle owned by the user. Responsive to receiving the request and the plurality of inputs, the method includes obtaining a set of available vehicles, and corresponding availability periods associated with the available vehicles. The method further includes determining a rent time period overlap extent with the available vehicles' availability periods. Based on the overlap extent determination and the plurality of inputs, the method includes selecting the rent vehicle from the set of available vehicles, and reserving the rent vehicle for the user.

Abstract: Building infrastructure and robot coordination methods and systems are disclosed herein. An example method can include preregistering an autonomous vehicle with a building controller of a building to inform the building controller of arrival of the autonomous vehicle and a delivery request for a package, the delivery request specifying a recipient of the package, the recipient having a location in the building. The method can include determining completion of a validation routine with the autonomous vehicle, assigning a task management plan to the autonomous vehicle, the task management plan determining how the autonomous vehicle navigates through the building to deliver the package to the location, and tracking the autonomous vehicle through the building.

Abstract: A method for delivering a plurality of packages is described. The method includes obtaining, via a processor, information associated with a delivery plan of the plurality of packages from at least one memory. Based on the information, the method includes determining, via the processor, a current location, and a destination location of a target container. In response to the determination, the method includes determining, via the processor, a movement plan to move the target container to the destination location. Based on the movement plan, the method includes activating, via the processor, a first set of motorized tiles to move the target container to the destination location. The method further includes receiving, via the processor, an updated movement plan from a server plan when a preset condition is met. Based on the updated movement plan, the method includes activating, via the processor, a second set of motorized tiles.

Abstract: A method for controlling a human driven vehicle (HDV) includes identifying HDV indicia of a fiducial marker disposed on the HDV based on localization data obtained from the plurality of localization sensors, determining a pose of the HDV based on the localization data, where the pose of the HDV includes a location and an orientation of the HDV, and defining a bounding region of the HDV based on the HDV indicia and the pose of the HDV. The method includes determining a location-based characteristic of the one or more autonomous devices, where the location-based characteristic includes a location of the one or more autonomous devices, a trajectory of the one or more autonomous devices, or a combination thereof, selectively generating a notification based on the location-based characteristic and the bounding region, and broadcasting the notification to the HDV in response to generating the notification.

Abstract: A method for controlling a plurality of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in a manufacturing environment having an intersection includes obtaining a plurality of routes associated with the plurality of AMRs, velocity information associated with the plurality of AMRs, and priority information associated with the plurality of AMRs, and determining a plurality of arrival times associated with the plurality of AMRs based on the velocity information and the plurality of routes. The method includes generating a plurality of intersection reservations based on the plurality of arrival times and the priority information, where each intersection reservation from among the plurality of intersection reservations corresponds to an AMR from among the plurality of AMRs, and controlling a movement of the plurality of AMRs through the intersection based on the plurality of intersection reservations.

Abstract: A method includes identifying a set of intermediate grids of a grid map of the manufacturing environment based on a location of the first AMR and a destination grid of the grid map and appending temporal information to the set of intermediate grids based on a mobility characteristic of the first AMR. The method includes generating a first reservation based on the set of intermediate grids and the temporal information of the set of intermediate grids, determining a state of the first reservation based on priority information associated with the plurality of AMRs and one or more additional reservations associated with the one or more additional AMRs from among the plurality of AMRs, and assigning the first reservation to the first AMR in response to the first reservation being in an available state.

Abstract: A method for surveying an environment includes segmenting a plurality of nodes into a plurality of communities. The method includes identifying a plurality of community centroids based on the plurality of communities, where each community centroid from among the plurality of community centroids is associated with one community from among the plurality of communities. The method includes determining, for each community centroid from among the plurality of community centroids, a community type of the community centroid, where the community type is one of a primary type and an auxiliary type, and where the community type is based on a distance between the community centroid and one or more charging stations. The method includes generating a plurality of intercommunity routes based on the plurality of community centroids, the one or more charging stations, the community type, and one or more performance constraints.
