Application: Ground clutter avoidance for a mobile robot (Patent ID: US20230418297A1)
The patent filed by Hyundai Motor Co. describes methods and apparatus for navigating a robot along a route through an environment associated with a mission. The method involves identifying potential obstacles in the environment based on sensor data, determining obstacles based on stored footfall locations of the robot during a previous mission execution, and navigating the robot to avoid stepping on the obstacles. The system utilizes sensor data such as image data or point cloud data to generate terrain maps and segmented maps for obstacle identification. The robot is guided to avoid obstacles by analyzing footfall locations and detecting large obstacles in the environment, with a focus on obstacles below 30 cm in height.
The legged robot described in the patent includes a perception system with sensors, a computer processor for obstacle identification based on sensor data and footfall locations, and a navigation system to avoid obstacles. The processor processes sensor data to create terrain and segmented maps, enabling obstacle detection based on boundaries and surfaces. The robot is programmed to navigate around obstacles by analyzing upcoming footfall locations and identifying large obstacles in the environment. The system aims to prevent the robot from stepping on obstacles by utilizing stored data from previous mission executions and real-time sensor data for efficient navigation.
