MAP DATA GENERATION DEVICE, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND MAP DATA GENERATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160213 titled 'MAP DATA GENERATION DEVICE, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND MAP DATA GENERATION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a map data generation device that acquires spatial data and attribute data to generate map data for a movable apparatus that autonomously moves in a space.
- Spatial data acquisition unit measures an object in the space with a sensor to acquire spatial data.
- Attribute data acquisition unit acquires attribute data indicating the attributes of the movable apparatus.
- Map data generation unit generates map data based on the attribute data and spatial data for the autonomous movement of the apparatus.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, drones, robotic systems, and other movable apparatus that require accurate mapping for autonomous navigation.
Problems Solved
1. Provides a solution for generating accurate map data for movable apparatus that autonomously move in a space. 2. Helps in improving the efficiency and safety of autonomous systems by providing reliable mapping data.
Benefits
1. Enables precise navigation for autonomous systems. 2. Enhances the overall performance and reliability of movable apparatus. 3. Reduces the risk of collisions and improves the safety of autonomous movements.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized Mapping Technology for Autonomous Systems
Possible Prior Art
There are existing technologies for mapping and navigation systems in autonomous vehicles and drones, but this specific combination of acquiring spatial and attribute data for map generation may be unique.
Unanswered Questions
