An autonomous mobile device uses depth and image sensors to map a physical space. It distinguishes between stationary objects, like furniture, for long-term route planning and non-stationary objects, like people or pets, for immediate collision avoidance. The device specifically identifies non-stationary objects by analyzing the shape of their depth sensor data.
Why it matters: Filed before powerful edge AI processors and advanced machine learning models became widely available. These could significantly enhance the real-time object classification described in the claims.
