  • Patent number: 11852501
    Abstract: A system for generating a costmap for use in planning a path through an environment, the system including one or more suitably programmed processing devices configured to obtain a map of the environment, acquire traversal data indicative of an ability to traverse parts of the environment, for each part of the environment, calculate a traversal indicator indicative of the ability to traverse the part, the traversal indicator being calculated in a colour space, and colourise the map using the traversal indicators to thereby generate a colourised costmap indicative of an ability to traverse the environment, the colourised costmap allowing path planning to be performed.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 26, 2023
    Assignee: COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANISATION
    Inventors: Paulo Borges, Thomas Lowe, Tirthankar Bandyopadhyay, Riley Bowyer
  • Publication number: 20230133661
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for moving an object within an environment, wherein the system includes: one or more modular wheels configured to move the object, wherein the one or more modular wheels include: a body configured to be attached to the object; a wheel; a drive configured to rotate the wheel; a sensor mounted to the body; and, one or more processing devices configured to control the one or more modular wheels in accordance with signals from the sensor to thereby rotate the wheel and move the object.

  • Patent number: 8291380
    Abstract: A method for configuring a software package for an enterprise includes gathering desired To-be configuration requirements for a software package through at least one questionnaire; gathering current As-Is raw data for the enterprise; displaying the To-Be configuration requirements and As-Is raw data; comparing the To-Be configuration requirements and As-Is raw data; selecting final To-Be configuration requirements; and generating and executing configuration code for the software package to pre-configure the software package with the final To-Be configuration requirements.
