Human-Guided Mapping Method For Mobile Robot

View page
US Patent:
8068935, Nov 29, 2011
Filed:
Oct 18, 2006
Appl. No.:
12/085719
Inventors:
Yutaka Kanayama - Monterey CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
700245, 700250, 700253, 700254, 700259, 700264, 382103, 382107, 382153
Abstract:
A method of mapping an operation area by a team of a human and a mobile robot includes the steps of defining a graph representing the area by a human , guiding the robot by human along an edge , stopping at a vertex in the graph by the team , creating a vertex record if stopped at a new vertex , localizing the robot and vertices if stopped at an existing vertex , creating an edge record if finished a new edge , and outputting an area's map including a set of vertex records and a set of edge record by the robot. The robot's human-tracking step includes the steps of obtaining a 2-DOF motion command from sensors that detect the human's action and executing a 2-DOF motion based on the motion command.

Method Of Controlling A Vehicle To Make A Combination Of Arbitrary Translational And Rotational Motions

View page
US Patent:
57197628, Feb 17, 1998
Filed:
Nov 6, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/553904
Inventors:
Yutaka John Kanayama - Salinas CA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G06F16500
B62D 6112
US Classification:
364424027
Abstract:
A method of controlling a rotary vehicle to navigate a heading using a conation of translational and rotational motions by a plurality of driving-steering wheels controlling the motion in three degrees of freedom for a manned or unmanned vehicle having at least two drive-steering wheels, wherein a drive-steering wheel is a wheel with its heading orientation and driving velocity positively controlled, wherein a global motion is a vehicle trajectory with vehicle orientation from the initial position (with orientation) to a final destination (with orientation), which comprises comparing a global motion selected to the vehicle's body position and orientation to compute a motion instruction in three degrees of freedom, the acceleration, path of curvature, and rotation rate, collectively known as the motion command then converting the motion command into a translational speed, a translational direction, and a rotational rate and converting the translational speed, the translational direction and the rotational rate into the direction and driving speed for each independent drive-steering wheel.

Mobile Robot Navigating Method

US Patent:
50737490, Dec 17, 1991
Filed:
Jun 19, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/540151
Inventors:
Yutaka Kanayama - Goleta CA
Assignee:
Shinko Electric Co., Ltd. - Tokyo
Sogo Securities Co., Ltd. - Tokyo
International Classification:
G06F 1550
US Classification:
318587
Abstract:
A mobile robot navigating method for navigating an autonomous mobile robot utilizes a path planning unit, a posture control unit, a command signal converting unit, a current posture computing unit and a running mechanism, such as an autonomous carrier vehicle, capable of quickly and accurately controlling the mobile robot for steady running to a desired posture along a specified path. The mobile robot is controlled for running by a speed command including a desired speed for feed-forward control a speed correction for feed back control, and an angular velocity command including a desired angular velocity for feed-forward control and an angular velocity correction for feedback control. The mobile robot is controlled in a feed back and feed-forward control mode using the speed command and the angular velocity command so as to run steadily along an optimum path to a desired posture without meandering.

Path Planning Method For Mobile Robots

View page
US Patent:
51093405, Apr 28, 1992
Filed:
Jun 19, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/540152
Inventors:
Yutaka Kanayama - Goleta CA
Assignee:
Shinko Electric Co., Ltd. - Tokyo
Sogo Security Services Co., Ltd. - Tokyo
International Classification:
G06F 1550
US Classification:
36442402
Abstract:
A method of planning paths for autonomous carrier vehicles, such as a mobile robots, capable of planning curved paths consisting of cubic spirals smoother than those planned by conventional path planning methods. The path planned by the method of the invention is defined by one or two of cubic spirals with curvature expressed by a quadratic function of distance measured along the cubic spiral with zero curvatures at its opposite ends. The path is designed so that curvatures at the junctions are zero and the integral of the square of the derivative of curvature function between the opposite ends of the path is minimized. The mobile robot is able to travel very smoothly across the junctions when the integral of the square of the derivative of curvature is minimized.

Method Of Recording Trajectory Data And Sensor Data For A Manually-Driven Vehicle

View page
US Patent:
63143410, Nov 6, 2001
Filed:
Nov 26, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/449797
Inventors:
Yutaka John Kanayama - Salinas CA
International Classification:
G05D 100
G05D 300
US Classification:
701 1
Abstract:
A method of recording trajectory data and sensor data for a vehicle while it is manually driven. The trajectory data comprises of the trajectory length and vehicle frame (position and orientation) that are calculated at each motion execution interval. The sensor data comprises of the trajectory length, vehicle frame, sensor frame, and sensor data that are obtained at each sensor execution interval. In particular, if the sensor is a range-finder, an estimated frame of the object that the range finder detects will be added to said sensor data. One objective of this invention is to play back the same motion the vehicle was taught by a human operator. Another objective is to generate a world map for the vehicle. Still further objective is, in the play-back mode, to correct vehicle's positional errors using the sensor data.

US Patent:
61344869, Oct 17, 2000
Filed:
Apr 20, 1998

Yutaka John Kanayama - Salinas CA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G06F 900
G06F16500
US Classification:
701 23
Abstract:
A vehicle control system having a computer control system, wherein the computer control system comprises a Vehicle-Independent Subsystem and a Vehicle-Dependent Subsystem, and wherein the Vehicle-Independent Subsystem inputs vehicle incremental movement distance and vehicle incremental heading-orientation change from the Vehicle-Dependent Subsystem and outputs commanded path curvature and commanded speed to the Vehicle-Dependent Subsystem, and wherein the Vehicle-Dependent Subsystem inputs the commanded path curvature and commanded speed from the Vehicle-Independent Subsystem, and outputs the incremental vehicle movement distance and vehicle heading-orientation change to the Vehicle-Independent Subsystem, wherein the computer control system has the capability of controlling the execution steps at a constant sampling time interval so that the vehicle system can track a path consisting of lines and/or circular arcs with positional feedback and continuous curvature.
