ROBOT TRAVELING IN SPECIFIC SPACE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18378429 titled 'ROBOT TRAVELING IN SPECIFIC SPACE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a robot traveling in a specific space, utilizing map information, sensors, and processors to identify subspaces, prioritize information, locate objects, update priorities, and control movement.

  • The robot includes a memory storing map information on a driving space.
  • It has one or more sensors and a driver for movement.
  • The processors identify the specific space as multiple subspaces on a traveling route, prioritize information for each subspace, locate objects within the space using sensor data, update priorities based on object location or predicted departure time, and control movement based on updated priorities.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, warehouse robots, and delivery robots to efficiently navigate and interact with their environment.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of optimizing movement in a specific space by identifying subspaces, prioritizing information, and updating priorities based on object location or predicted departure time.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency in movement, better object detection and tracking, and enhanced decision-making capabilities for robots operating in specific spaces.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the logistics industry for warehouse automation, where robots need to navigate and interact with various subspaces efficiently.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing patents related to autonomous navigation systems for robots or vehicles in specific spaces.

Unanswered Questions

How does the robot prioritize information for each subspace?

The abstract mentions that the robot identifies priority information for each subspace, but it does not specify the criteria or algorithm used for prioritization.

What types of sensors are used in the robot for object location?

The abstract mentions that the robot uses one or more sensors for object location within the specific space, but it does not specify the specific types of sensors utilized.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is a robot traveling in a specific space. The robot includes a memory in which map information on a driving space is stored, one or more sensors, a driver; and one or more processors configured to identify the specific space as a plurality of subspaces when the specific space is included as a stopover on a traveling route identified based on the map information, identify priority information of each of the plurality of subspaces, identify a location of an object within the specific space based on sensing data acquired through the one or more sensors, update the priority information of each of the plurality of subspaces based on at least one of the identified location of the object or a predicted departure time to a next stopover within the traveling route, and control the driver to move based on the updated priority information.
