ROBOT AND CONTROL METHOD FOR ROBOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18108905 titled 'ROBOT AND CONTROL METHOD FOR ROBOT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a robot that can receive driving data from an external device, store it in memory, and control its operations based on this data. If there is an error in the communication connection between the robot and the external device, the robot can identify and receive a second set of driving data within a certain time period. The robot can then identify a consecutive set of driving data and use it to control its operations after the communication error occurred.
- The robot has a communicator, driver, memory, and processor.
- It can receive driving data from an external device and store it in memory.
- The robot can control its operations based on the received driving data.
- If there is a communication error, the robot can identify and receive a second set of driving data within a threshold period.
- The robot can identify a consecutive set of driving data and use it to control its operations after the communication error occurred.
Potential Applications
- Industrial automation: The robot can receive instructions from a central control system and continue its operations even if there are communication errors.
- Autonomous vehicles: The robot can receive driving instructions from a navigation system and continue driving safely even if there are temporary communication disruptions.
- Remote control robots: The robot can receive commands from a remote operator and maintain its functionality even if there are intermittent communication issues.
Problems Solved
- Communication errors: The robot can handle errors in the communication connection with an external device and still perform its operations effectively.
- Continuity of operations: The robot can identify and use consecutive driving data to ensure a smooth continuation of its operations, even after a communication error occurred.
Benefits
- Reliability: The robot can adapt to communication errors and continue its operations, ensuring reliability in various applications.
- Efficiency: By using consecutive driving data, the robot can minimize disruptions caused by communication errors and maintain efficient operations.
- Safety: In applications like autonomous vehicles, the robot's ability to continue driving based on received data ensures safety even in the presence of communication disruptions.
Original Abstract Submitted
A robot includes: a communicator; a driver configured to drive the robot; at least one memory configured to store at least one instruction; and at least one processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to: receive first driving data from an external device in communication with the robot through the communicator and store the first driving data in the memory, control the driver to perform an operation based on the first driving data, identify, based on an error in communication connection between the robot and the external device occurring, second driving data received by the robot from the external device within a threshold period based on a point in time at which the error in communication connection occurs, wherein the second driving data matches with at least a portion of the first driving data, identify third driving data that is at least a portion of the first driving data and is consecutive to the portion of the first driving data that matches with the second driving data, and control the driver to perform an operation after the point in time at which the error in communication connection between the robot and the external device occurs based on the third driving data.
