    Abstract: A method for negotiating stairs includes receiving image data about a robot maneuvering in an environment with stairs. Here, the robot includes two or more legs. Prior to the robot traversing the stairs, for each stair, the method further includes determining a corresponding step region based on the received image data. The step region identifies a safe placement area on a corresponding stair for a distal end of a corresponding swing leg of the robot. Also prior to the robot traversing the stairs, the method includes shifting a weight distribution of the robot towards a front portion of the robot. When the robot traverses the stairs, the method further includes, for each stair, moving the distal end of the corresponding swing leg of the robot to a target step location where the target step location is within the corresponding step region of the stair.

  • Publication number: 20230008681
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a smart-device-based radar system capable of detecting a frame-of-reference change. In particular, a radar system includes a frame-of-reference machine-learned module trained to recognize whether or not the radar system's frame of reference changes. The frame-of-reference machine-learned module analyzes complex radar data generated from at least one chirp of a reflected radar signal to analyze a relative motion of at least one object over time. By analyzing the complex radar data directly using machine learning, the radar system can operate as a motion sensor without relying on non-radar-based sensors, such as gyroscopes, inertial sensors, or accelerometers. With knowledge of whether the frame-of-reference is stationary or moving, the radar system can determine whether or not a gesture is likely to occur and, in some cases, compensate for the relative motion of the radar system itself.
