Application: Unmanned robot for urban air mobility vehicle and urban air mobility vehicle (Patent ID: US20240199228A1)
The patent filed by Kia Corp describes an unmanned robot designed for use with an urban air mobility vehicle. The robot includes a processor, communication module, storage medium, and control module to execute commands in different modes. In the first mode, the robots move in synchronization with the air mobility vehicle, while in the second mode, they are arranged on the road surface to provide a moving path for passengers. The robot can also detect obstacles and output alarm signals when obstacles are detected.
Additionally, the unmanned robot can be equipped with an ultra-wideband (UWB) anchor for precise location tracking and movement coordination with the air mobility vehicle. The robot can receive commands related to waiting points, moving paths, and speed for ground operations. The urban air mobility vehicle, in turn, includes a processor, communication module, storage medium, and control module to transmit commands to the unmanned robot in different modes, facilitating synchronized movement and passenger guidance. The UWB tag installed on the vehicle helps in precise positioning and movement coordination with the unmanned robot.
