Systems And Methods For Planning And Updating A Vehicle's Trajectory

View page
US Patent:
20200353917, Nov 12, 2020
Filed:
May 4, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/865485
Inventors:
- St. Michael, BB
Eryk Brian Nice - Medford MA, US
International Classification:
B60W 30/09
G05D 1/02
B60W 30/095
B60W 60/00
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for generating a driving trajectory for a vehicle while the vehicle is blocked (e.g., the sensor of the vehicle have detected an object results in the vehicle being unable to move) by an object (e.g., another vehicle, bicycle, or a pedestrian) and executing the driving trajectory when the vehicle becomes unblocked. In addition, techniques are provided for updating a portion of a driving trajectory of a vehicle based on a determination that an object will cross a segment of the current driving trajectory at a later point, without recalculating the whole trajectory.

US Patent:
20180072499, Mar 15, 2018
Filed:
Oct 23, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/791332
Inventors:
- Seattle WA, US
John Joseph Enright - Somerville MA, US
Joseph W. Durham - Somerville MA, US
Michael Harrison Decker - Concord MA, US
Jonathan Harris Schechter - Cambridge MA, US
Peter R. Wurman - Acton MA, US
Eryk Brian Nice - Medford MA, US
International Classification:
B65G 1/137
G06Q 10/08
Abstract:
An inventory system can include multiple floors. The system can assign operations involving inventory items to a floor based on information about the floor, other floors, the operations, and/or the inventory items. In one example, the system may assign an order to be assembled on a floor based on the floor containing items for the order. Items may be moved to the floor from other floors to complete the order. In another example, a receipt receptacle received from a shipping vehicle can be moved to a rack without separating inventory items from the receipt vehicle. A mobile drive unit can move the rack to a floor based on information known about the inventory items matching criteria about the floor.
