  • Robot navigation and robot-IoT interactive task planning using augmented reality
    Patent number: 11878421
    Abstract: Disclosed is a visual and spatial programming system for robot navigation and robot-IoT task authoring. Programmable mobile robots serve as binding agents to link stationary IoT devices and perform collaborative tasks. Three key elements of robot task planning (human-robot-IoT) are coherently connected with one single smartphone device. Users can perform visual task authoring in an analogous manner to the real tasks that they would like the robot to perform with using an augmented reality interface. The mobile device mediates interactions between the user, robot(s), and IoT device-oriented tasks, guiding the path planning execution with Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) to enable robust room-scale navigation and interactive task authoring.
