INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, MOVABLE APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240116500 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, MOVABLE APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus designed to improve the efficiency of operation of a movable apparatus by calculating a passing region, detecting objects around the movable apparatus, and setting an object detection range based on the passing region.
- Passing region calculation unit calculates the passing region for the movable apparatus.
- Object detection unit detects objects around the movable apparatus using sensors.
- Object detection range setting unit sets the object detection range based on the passing region calculated.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial automation systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in avoiding collisions and improving the overall efficiency of operation for movable apparatus.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include increased safety, improved productivity, and reduced downtime due to accidents.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include autonomous vehicles, warehouse automation systems, and manufacturing robots.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of sensors in autonomous vehicles to detect obstacles and navigate around them.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle dynamic environments where objects are constantly moving?
The technology may need to continuously update the passing region and object detection range to adapt to changing surroundings.
What types of sensors are used in the object detection unit?
Different types of sensors such as LiDAR, radar, or cameras could be used depending on the specific application requirements.
Original Abstract Submitted
to provide an information processing apparatus capable of improving the efficiency of operation of a movable apparatus, an information processing apparatus comprises: a passing region calculation unit configured to calculate a passing region through which a movable apparatus passes; an object detection unit configured to detect an object around the movable apparatus by a sensor; and an object detection range setting unit configured to set an object detection range in which the object is detected by the object detection unit based on the passing region calculated by the passing region calculation unit.
