Obtaining User Input - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240270288 titled 'Obtaining User Input
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for controlling the yaw rotation of a motorized electronic device as it moves from one location to another. The method involves notifying a potential operator and adjusting the yaw rotation accordingly.
- The method determines the path of travel for the motorized electronic device.
- Following the path causes a baseline yaw rotation of the device's body.
- A control system notifies a potential operator of the device.
- The control system then adjusts the yaw rotation of the device's body relative to the baseline rotation.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Path determination for motorized electronic device travel.
- Baseline yaw rotation of the device's body.
- Notification system for potential operators.
- Yaw rotation adjustment based on notifications.
Potential Applications: The technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, drones, and robotic systems where precise control of yaw rotation is essential.
Problems Solved: The method addresses the need for efficient and accurate control of yaw rotation in motorized electronic devices during travel.
Benefits:
- Improved precision in controlling yaw rotation.
- Enhanced safety for operators and bystanders.
- Increased efficiency in device operation.
Commercial Applications: The technology could be utilized in the development of autonomous delivery systems, surveillance drones, and industrial robots for various commercial applications.
Prior Art: Prior research in the field of autonomous navigation systems and robotic control mechanisms may provide insights into similar technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are constantly exploring advancements in autonomous navigation systems and robotic control mechanisms that could enhance the capabilities of motorized electronic devices.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the method ensure the safety of the potential operator during device operation? 2. What are the potential limitations of the technology in controlling yaw rotation in challenging environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method includes determining a path of travel of a motorized electronic device to move from a first location to a second location. following the path of travel causes a baseline yaw rotation of a body of the motorized electronic device relative to the path of travel. the method further includes determining, by a control system, to notify a potential operator of the motorized electronic device. in response to determining to notify the potential operator, the method includes controlling operation of a system of the motorized electronic device using the control system to cause a change of a yaw rotation of the body of the motorized electronic device relative to the baseline yaw rotation.
