DRIVING ROBOT GENERATING DRIVING MAP AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18232595 titled 'DRIVING ROBOT GENERATING DRIVING MAP AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The driving robot described in the patent application uses a camera with a depth camera to acquire depth data in areas where the robot moves. The processor then identifies scan data sets corresponding to predetermined height levels and generates area maps based on feature scores derived from the scan data sets.
- Camera with depth camera for acquiring depth data
- Processor to identify scan data sets and feature scores
- Generation of area maps based on feature scores
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial automation for navigation and obstacle avoidance.
Problems Solved
The technology helps the driving robot navigate complex environments by identifying features and generating maps based on depth data.
Benefits

Potential Commercial Applications
"Depth Camera-Based Navigation and Mapping Technology for Driving Robots"
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include similar technologies used in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial automation for navigation and obstacle avoidance.
Unanswered Questions
How does the driving robot handle dynamic obstacles in real-time?
The patent application does not specify how the driving robot reacts to dynamic obstacles while navigating using the generated area maps.
What is the processing time required for the identification of scan data sets and feature scores?
The patent application does not provide information on the processing time needed for the identification and generation of area maps based on the acquired depth data.
Original Abstract Submitted
A driving robot includes: a camera including a depth camera; and at least one processor configured to: control the camera to acquire depth data in one or more areas where the driving robot moves, identify, from the acquired depth data, a plurality of scan data sets corresponding to a plurality of predetermined height levels, identify, based on the plurality of scan data sets, a plurality of feature scores corresponding to the plurality of scan data sets, and generate at least one area map corresponding to at least one scan data set among the plurality of scan data sets, wherein a feature score, among the plurality of feature scores, corresponding to the at least one scan data set is greater than or equal to a predetermined critical value.
