COORDINATING USE OF DIFFERENT MOTION PREDICTION MODELS TO PREDICT A LOCATION OF A MOBILE ROBOT AT A FUTURE POINT IN TIME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17733381 titled 'COORDINATING USE OF DIFFERENT MOTION PREDICTION MODELS TO PREDICT A LOCATION OF A MOBILE ROBOT AT A FUTURE POINT IN TIME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that coordinates different motion prediction models to predict the future location of a mobile robot.

  • The system includes a first and second motion prediction model module, a decision module, and an actuator module.
  • The first motion prediction model module uses a specific model to predict the future location of the robot.
  • The second motion prediction model module uses a different model to predict the future location of the robot.
  • The decision module determines if a certain condition exists.
  • The actuator module moves the robot based on the predictions from either the first or second model, depending on the condition determined by the decision module.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system for coordinating use of different motion prediction models to predict a location of a mobile robot at a future point in time can include a first motion prediction model module, a second motion prediction model module, a decision module, and an actuator module. The first motion prediction model module can determine, operating a first motion prediction model, a first prediction of a location of a mobile robot at a future point in time. The second motion prediction model module can determine, operating a second motion prediction model, a second prediction of the location of the mobile robot at the future point in time. The decision module can determine an existence of a condition. The actuator module can cause, based on a determination of the existence of the condition, the mobile robot to move based on one or more of the first prediction or the second prediction.
