Application: Modular robot control architecture (Patent ID: US20230405810A1)
The patent filed by Rivian Automotive Inc. describes a robot with a controller that controls robot components based on an Input/Output (I/O) map and associated applications. The robot's controller can utilize multiple applications associated with different blocks in the I/O map to control the robot components. Each block in the I/O map is preconfigured to work with a single application, and the applications and blocks are modular and interchangeable, allowing for flexibility in controlling the robot components.
Furthermore, the controller for the robot includes processors and memory storing computer-executable instructions for controlling the robot components based on the I/O map and associated applications. The memory includes multiple applications that can be stacked and interchanged with different blocks in the I/O map. The method for configuring the robot involves providing an I/O map with blocks associated with predefined inputs and outputs, and then associating applications with these blocks to control the robot components. Each block has the same number of inputs and outputs grouped together, and the applications can include multiple sub-applications associated with different blocks in the I/O map. Additionally, the I/O map defines feedback slots for communication with a system controller, allowing for feedback inputs and outputs to be paired with specific blocks in the map for enhanced control of the robot.
