CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240132062 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The control apparatus described in the abstract is designed to localize a moving body, revise its estimated position, control its movement based on the revised position, detect poor localization accuracy, and perform emergency control when necessary.

  • Localization of a moving body
  • Revision of estimated position to ensure displacement is within a predetermined range
  • Control of the moving body based on the revised estimated position
  • Detection of poor accuracy in localization
  • Emergency control based on the magnitude of the difference in estimated positions

The abstract does not provide details on how the control apparatus adapts to complex environments with obstacles and changing conditions to ensure accurate localization and control.

What sensors or technologies are used for localization and control in this system?

The abstract does not specify the sensors or technologies utilized for localization and control in the described control apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

a control apparatus according to the present disclosure is configured to execute the following first to five processes. the first process is a localization of a moving body. the second process is revising an estimated position obtained by the localization such that a displacement amount with respect to a previous position is within a predetermined range. the third process is regarding a revised estimated position obtained as a position of the moving body in a current process, and performing a control of the moving body based on the revised estimated position. the fourth process is detecting a poor accuracy of the localization based on a difference between the estimated position and the revised estimated position. the fifth process is performing an emergency control corresponding to a magnitude of the difference when the poor accuracy of the localization is detected.
