  • Patent number: 8498488
    Abstract: A method to determine the location of a robot using an omni-directional image, the method including acquiring an omni-directional image from a robot, extracting a predetermined current line from the acquired omni-directional image, calculating a correlation coefficient between the extracted current line of the robot and each landmark line of pre-stored nodes using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and performing a stochastic approach method of a particle filtering process on a basis of the calculated correlation coefficient to recognize a location of the robot.

  • Patent number: 8473548
    Abstract: An intelligent network system including a client unit and a server unit providing a service to the client unit, and a method and computer-readable medium controlling the same are disclosed. If the server unit copies a process that performs a service requested by the client unit into the client unit, and the server unit cannot provide the service any longer, the process is copied to another available server unit so that the service can be continuously provided. Also, if there is no available server unit, the client unit receives the service using the copy process pre-stored in the client unit itself. Therefore, although the network or the peripheral device is in the worst state, the client unit can stably receive the service.

  • Patent number: 8331652
    Abstract: A simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM) method and medium for a moving robot is disclosed. The SLAM method includes extracting a horizontal line from an omni-directional image photographed at every position where the mobile robot reaches during a movement of the mobile robot, correcting the extracted horizontal line, to create a horizontal line image, and simultaneously executing a localization of the mobile robot and building a map for the mobile robot, using the created horizontal line image and a previously-created horizontal line image.

  • Publication number: 20110167405
    Abstract: An application building system includes a computer having a component container to download components from a server and to store the components, and the computer having a client to download the components from the component container, to load the downloaded components into a program, and to build the program. The components having various functions may be reused when building an application and are prepared in advance and stored in the server. Program development capability of the application may be maximized by dynamically using the component container, and development time may be shortened.
