ROBOT COMPRISING LIDAR SENSOR AND METHOD CONTROLLING ROBOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18203860 titled 'ROBOT COMPRISING LIDAR SENSOR AND METHOD CONTROLLING ROBOT
Simplified Explanation
An electronic device is described in this patent application. The device includes a first sensor mounted inside its body, a second sensor that detects the posture of the device, an optical device that reflects light from the first sensor using a mirror and outputs it through a transparent region on the device's body, and a processor that obtains information on the posture of the device through the second sensor, calculates the tilting angle of the mirror based on the obtained posture and the refractive index of the transparent region, and controls the mirror accordingly.
- The electronic device has a first sensor inside its body.
- A second sensor is used to detect the posture of the device.
- An optical device reflects light from the first sensor using a mirror.
- The reflected light is outputted through a transparent region on the device's body.
- A processor obtains information on the device's posture through the second sensor.
- The processor calculates the tilting angle of the mirror based on the obtained posture and the refractive index of the transparent region.
- The mirror is controlled by the processor based on the calculated tilting angle.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Augmented reality devices: The ability to accurately detect and track the posture of the device can enhance the user's experience in augmented reality applications.
- Virtual reality devices: Similar to augmented reality, accurate posture detection can improve the user's immersion in virtual reality environments.
- Medical devices: The technology could be used in medical devices to monitor and track the posture of patients, aiding in rehabilitation or physical therapy.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accurate posture detection: The second sensor and the processor enable precise tracking of the device's posture, which can be useful in various applications.
- Efficient light reflection: The use of a mirror and the optical device allows for efficient reflection of light from the first sensor, ensuring accurate measurements.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced user experience: The accurate detection and tracking of the device's posture can improve the user's experience in applications such as augmented reality and virtual reality.
- Improved medical monitoring: In medical devices, the ability to monitor and track a patient's posture can assist in their rehabilitation or physical therapy, providing more accurate data for healthcare professionals.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes: a first sensor mounted inside a body of the electronic device; a second sensor configured to sense a posture of the body; an optical device configured to: reflect light output from the first sensor by using a mirror, and output the reflected light to an outside of the electronic device through a transparent region in the electronic device; a processor configured to: obtain information on the posture of the body through the second sensor, obtain information on a tilting angle of the mirror based on the obtained posture of the body and a refractive index of the transparent region, and control the mirror based on the obtained information on the tilting angle.
