COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR THE INDEXING OF TWO DIMENSIONAL SPACES, ROBOT LOCATION SYSTEM, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE DATA CARRIER THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045441 titled 'COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR THE INDEXING OF TWO DIMENSIONAL SPACES, ROBOT LOCATION SYSTEM, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE DATA CARRIER THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The invention is a computer implemented method for indexing one and two-dimensional spaces using gray code sequences. The method involves a spatial indexing based on a triangular coordinate system, where triangles are subdivided into sub-triangles and further encoded to create multiple encoded layers. Additionally, a hexagonal coordinate system is generated to define the location of an autonomous robot.

  • The invention is a computer implemented method for indexing spaces using gray code sequences.
  • The method utilizes a triangular coordinate system for spatial indexing.
