  • Patent number: 11442463
    Abstract: An autonomous mobile device moves through a physical space using simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques. SLAM processes images from cameras to determine localization and trajectory of the device based on features that are assumed to be stationary. SLAM performance is improved by removing moving features from consideration. A first position of a feature at a first time and data from an inertial sensor are used to determine a predicted position at a second time. The predicted position is compared to a second position of the feature at the second time. This comparison takes into consideration an assumed Gaussian error distribution of how the positions are determined. If the predicted position differs from the second position by less than a threshold value, the feature may be determined to be stationary. The stationary features are then processed using SLAM to determine the localization and trajectory information.

  • Publication number: 20220126823
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle and a system and method for operating the autonomous vehicle. The system includes a sensor and a processor. A disturbance force or yaw moment is received on the autonomous vehicle. The sensor measures a position of the autonomous vehicle within a lane of a road with respect to road boundaries and lane markings. The processor is configured to resist an effect of a disturbance force or yaw moment received on the autonomous vehicle. The processor minimizes a tracking error between a path of the autonomous vehicle and an initial track lane, wherein resisting the effect creates an inflection point in the path of the autonomous vehicle, establishes a final track lane at a closer of a lateral position of the inflection point and a lane center to the initial track lane, and tracks the path to the final track lane.

  • Publication number: 20220092578
    Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting language dialects for a user to improve a user interface of an application are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system receives a request to determine a default dialect for an application executing on a user device. The system acquires user information corresponding to a user of the user device. Based on the user information and using a clustering algorithm, the system assigns the user to a cluster associated with a dialect. The system provides the dialect to the user device for display in a user interface as part of a sliding scale of selectable dialects of the application such that the dialect is provided as the default dialect for text and other message communications in the application. The system learns from the user's choice of dialect to provide more accurate dialect predictions in the future for other users.
