MOBILE OBJECT CONTROL DEVICE, MOBILE OBJECT CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240101152 titled 'MOBILE OBJECT CONTROL DEVICE, MOBILE OBJECT CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a mobile object control device that can recognize surrounding situations, set risk areas based on these situations, generate target trajectories for the mobile object to travel along, and set observation points in provisional trajectories to improve navigation.

  • Recognize surrounding situations of a mobile object
  • Set risk areas based on recognized situations
  • Generate target trajectories for future travel
  • Cause the mobile object to travel along the generated trajectory
  • Set observation points in provisional trajectories to enhance navigation

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, drones, and robotic systems to improve navigation and avoid potential risks in real-time.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the challenge of navigating mobile objects in dynamic environments where risks can change rapidly, ensuring safe and efficient travel.

Benefits

- Enhanced safety for mobile objects - Improved navigation in complex environments - Increased efficiency in travel routes

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhanced Navigation Control for Autonomous Vehicles and Drones" could be used in industries such as transportation, logistics, and surveillance for improved navigation and risk avoidance.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of obstacle detection and avoidance systems in autonomous vehicles and drones, but the specific approach of setting risk areas and observation points in trajectories may be novel.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device differentiate between various types of surrounding situations to set appropriate risk areas?

The patent application does not provide details on the specific sensors or algorithms used to recognize different surrounding situations and set corresponding risk areas.

What is the accuracy and reliability of the observation points set in provisional trajectories for navigation purposes?

The patent application does not elaborate on the effectiveness of the observation points in improving navigation and avoiding risks for the mobile object.


Original Abstract Submitted

provided is a mobile object control device configured to: recognize a surrounding situation of a mobile object; set, based on the recognized surrounding situation, a risk area in which positions of the surrounding situation are associated with risk values that are indicator values indicating degrees to which the mobile object is to avoid traveling; generate a target trajectory indicating a route along which the mobile object is to travel in future; cause the mobile object to travel along the generated target trajectory; and set at least one observation point in each of three or more provisional trajectories branching at a specific location ahead of the mobile object, and generate the target trajectory based on the risk area and the at least one observation point.
