  • Hoist system with household object payload motion control utilizing ambient depth data
    Patent number: 11465889
    Abstract: A system has a hoist system to lift a payload to a position adjacent to a ceiling of a room Image sensor systems collect visual data and payload depth data within the payload and ambient depth data within the room. A controller is connected to the hoist system and the image sensor systems. The controller is configured to control the motion of the hoist system. The motion of the hoist system is controlled in part by the ambient depth data from the room.
