ONLINE SPEED OVERRIDE OF A TRAJECTORY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18534461 titled 'ONLINE SPEED OVERRIDE OF A TRAJECTORY
The abstract of this patent application describes methods, systems, and apparatus for overriding the original motion of a robot along a trajectory.
- The method involves initiating the execution of an input trajectory for a robot at a default speed, then receiving a user input specifying an online speed override factor before completing the execution of the input trajectory.
- In response to the user input, a phase-parameterized version of the input trajectory is generated using a phase variable.
- Target velocity and target acceleration of the phase-parameterized version of the input trajectory are computed on each real-time control cycle based on the online speed override factor.
- The robot is then caused to transition to the target velocity and target acceleration while traversing the path in the operating environment.
Potential Applications: - Industrial automation - Robotics in manufacturing processes - Autonomous vehicles
Problems Solved: - Allowing real-time adjustments to a robot's trajectory speed - Enhancing flexibility and adaptability in robotic operations
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in robot motion control - Increased precision in trajectory following - Enhanced safety in dynamic environments
Commercial Applications: - Automated assembly lines - Warehouse logistics - Autonomous delivery vehicles
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the overall performance of robots in various industries? 2. What are the key factors that determine the effectiveness of the speed override feature in this system?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in real-time robotics control systems and trajectory planning algorithms to enhance the capabilities of this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for overriding an original motion of a robot along a trajectory. The method includes initiating, by a real-time robotics control system, execution of an input trajectory for a robot at a default speed, wherein the input trajectory is a time-parameterized trajectory and specifies a path in an operating environment; before completing execution of the input trajectory, receiving a user input specifying a value of an online speed override factor; in response, generating a phase-parameterized version of the input trajectory using a phase variable; computing, on each real-time control cycle, a target velocity and a target acceleration of the phase-parameterized version of the input trajectory based on the online speed override factor; and causing the robot to transition to the target velocity and the target acceleration while traversing the path in the operating environment.
