MAP DATA GENERATION DEVICE, MOVABLE APPARATUS MANAGEMENT DEVICE, STORAGE MEDIUM, MAP DATA GENERATION METHOD, AND MOVABLE APPARATUS MANAGEMENT METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18490830 titled 'MAP DATA GENERATION DEVICE, MOVABLE APPARATUS MANAGEMENT DEVICE, STORAGE MEDIUM, MAP DATA GENERATION METHOD, AND MOVABLE APPARATUS MANAGEMENT METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a map data generation device that creates map data based on operation data received from a movable apparatus autonomously moving and performing operations in a space.
- The device receives operation data from a movable apparatus.
- It generates map data used by the movable apparatus for autonomous movement and operation based on the received operation data.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Autonomous robots for navigation and operation in indoor spaces.
- Automated guided vehicles in warehouses and factories.
Problems Solved
This technology solves:
- The need for accurate and up-to-date map data for autonomous movable apparatus.
- Improving the efficiency and performance of autonomous systems in dynamic environments.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced accuracy and reliability of autonomous systems.
- Increased productivity and efficiency in operations.
- Reduced risk of collisions and errors in navigation.
Potential Commercial Applications
- Logistics and warehouse management systems.
- Industrial automation and manufacturing processes.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques in robotics and autonomous systems to create maps for navigation and operation.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device handle dynamic changes in the environment that may affect the generated map data?
The patent application does not provide details on how the device adapts to changes in the environment that could impact the accuracy of the map data.
What types of sensors or data sources are used to collect the operation data from the movable apparatus?
