  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OBJECT DETECTION FOR A MOBILE ROBOT WITH TIME-OF-FLIGHT CAMERA
    Publication number: 20230266473
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for operating a mobile robot. Firstly, a mobile robot can be equipped with at least one time-of-flight (ToF) sensor and the mobile robot can travel in an outdoor setting. At least one ToF sensor image related to the outdoor setting can be captured via the at least one ToF sensor. A data processing unit can process the at least one ToF sensor image to identify at least one cluster of pixels on the at least one ToF sensor image based on at least one pixel-clustering parameter. It can be determined whether at least one cluster of pixels corresponds to a hazardous object in the outdoor setting.
