20120215380 | SEMI-AUTONOMOUS ROBOT THAT SUPPORTS MULTIPLE MODES OF NAVIGATION - Described herein are technologies pertaining to robot navigation. The robot includes a video camera that is configured to transmit a live video feed to a remotely located computing device. A user interacts with the live video feed, and the robot navigates in its environment based upon the user interaction. In a first navigation mode, the user selects a location, and the robot autonomously navigates to the selected location. In a second navigation mode, the user causes the point of view of the video camera on the robot to change, and thereafter causes the robot to semi-autonomously drive in a direction corresponding to the new point of view of the video camera. In a third navigation mode, the user causes the robot to navigate to a selected location in the live video feed. | 08-23-2012 |
20120316676 | INTERACTIVE ROBOT INITIALIZATION - Initial interaction between a mobile robot and at least one user is described herein. The mobile robot captures several images of its surroundings, and identifies existence of a user in at least one of the several images. The robot then orients itself to face the user, and outputs an instruction to the user with regard to the orientation of the user with respect to the mobile robot. The mobile robot captures images of the face of the user responsive to detecting that the user has followed the instruction. Information captured by the robot is uploaded to a cloud-storage system, where information is included in a profile of the user and is shareable with others. | 12-13-2012 |
20120316680 | TRACKING AND FOLLOWING OF MOVING OBJECTS BY A MOBILE ROBOT - A robot tracks objects using sensory data, and follows an object selected by a user. The object can be designated by a user from a set of objects recognized by the robot. The relative positions and orientations of the robot and object are determined. The position and orientation of the robot can be used so as to maintain a desired relationship between the object and the robot. Using the navigation system of the robot, during its movement, obstacles can be avoided. If the robot loses contact with the object being tracked, the robot can continue to navigate and search the environment until the object is reacquired. | 12-13-2012 |
