  • Method of constructing indoor two-dimensional semantic map with wall corner as critical feature based on robot platform
    Patent number: 11971726
    Abstract: A method of constructing an indoor wall corner two-dimensional semantic map based on a robot platform includes controlling, by the master control computer, the robot platform to move indoors, collecting, by the lidar sensor, a distance between an indoor object and the robot platform and a direction angle between the indoor object and the robot platform in real time and transmitting the distance and the direction angle to the master control computer, and obtaining, by the master control computer, an environment grid map and a real-time pose of the robot platform by processing the distance between the indoor object and the robot platform and the direction angle between the indoor object and the robot platform based on Gmapping algorithm; constructing a semantic segmentation data set as a training set on the master control computer and obtaining a predicted non-wall corner semantic label.

  • Miniature microwave plasma torch application and method of use thereof
    Patent number: 7442271
    Abstract: A miniature microwave plasma torch apparatus (10) is described. The microwave plasma torch apparatus (10) is used for a variety of applications where rapid heating of a small amount of material is needed. The miniature microwave plasma torch apparatus (10) operates near or at atmospheric pressure for use in materials processing. The apparatus (10) provides a wide range of flow rates so that discharge properties vary from diffusional flow of radicals for gentle surface processing to high velocity, approaching supersonic, torch discharges for cutting and welding applications. The miniature microwave plasma torch apparatus (10) also has a very small materials processing spot size.
