Robot Collaboration via Cloud Server - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240295880 titled 'Robot Collaboration via Cloud Server
The abstract of the patent application describes a method involving a robotic device being elected as a leader by other robotic devices and receiving a new task from a remotely stored list. The method includes assigning the new task to another robotic device based on its active heartbeat.
- Robotic device elected as leader by other robotic devices
- New task received from remotely stored list
- Assignment of task to another robotic device based on active heartbeat
- Remotely stored list includes identifiers and heartbeats of robotic devices
- New task associated with assigned robotic device in list for execution
Potential Applications: - Task delegation in robotic systems - Efficient allocation of tasks in a network of robotic devices - Automated leadership selection process in robotic teams
Problems Solved: - Streamlining task assignment in robotic networks - Ensuring tasks are carried out by active robotic devices - Facilitating efficient coordination among robotic devices
Benefits: - Improved task management in robotic systems - Enhanced productivity through effective task allocation - Optimized utilization of robotic resources
Commercial Applications: Title: "Robotic Task Assignment and Leadership Selection System" This technology can be utilized in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare for automating task allocation and leadership selection processes in robotic systems. It can lead to increased efficiency, reduced downtime, and improved overall performance in various commercial settings.
Questions about Robotic Task Assignment and Leadership Selection System: 1. How does the method ensure that the assigned robotic device is capable of carrying out the new task? The method checks the active heartbeat of the robotic device before assigning the task to ensure its readiness for execution.
2. What are the key advantages of using a remotely stored list of tasks in the task assignment process? The remotely stored list allows for centralized task management and easy access for all robotic devices, enabling efficient task allocation and coordination.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method includes receiving, by a robotic device, an indication that the robotic device was elected to be a leader robotic device by a plurality of robotic devices and receiving an indication of a new task in a remotely stored list of tasks. the method further includes determining, based on a remotely stored list of robotic devices, an additional robotic device to assign the new task. the remotely stored list of robotic devices comprises an entry for each respective robotic device of the plurality of robotic devices associating the respective robotic device with an identifier and a heartbeat. the method additionally includes assigning the new task to the additional robotic device based on the additional robotic device having an active heartbeat. assigning the new task to the additional robotic device comprises associating the new task with the additional robotic device in the remotely stored list of tasks to cause the additional robotic device to carry out the new task.
