A system for an autonomous vehicle is disclosed that combines information from single-channel encoders serving as wheel speed sensors on multiple wheels of the vehicle. A pattern of the outputs from the single-channel encoders is characterized while the vehicle is traveling in a first direction. A shift in the characterized pattern is associated with a change in direction of the autonomous vehicle. Such detection of changes in direction can be used to determine the position of the vehicle at low speeds or while starting and/or stopping where the vehicle can potentially rock back and forth.

Position and direction determination using multiple single-channel encoders

A system for enhancing eye gaze in a telepresence system includes a plurality of local cameras coupled to at least one local display. Each local camera is directed to at least one respective local user section and operable to generate an image of the respective local user section. The system also includes a plurality of remote displays. Each remote display is operable to reproduce the local video image of the local user section. Within the system the plurality of remote displays and the plurality of local cameras are aligned such that when a first local user within a local user section looks at a target at least one remote display is operable to reproduce the local video image of the first user section comprising the first local user such that the eye gaze of the reproduced image of the first local user is directed approximately at a corresponding target.
