Various embodiments are directed to a method for docking a robotic platform. The method may include receiving a robotic platform onto a ramp of a docking station. The docking station may include the ramp, a roller assembly, a base pad, and a roller backstop assembly. The ramp may have a first side and a second side opposing the first side. The method may further include guiding, by the roller assembly, the robotic platform as the robotic platform is being driven onto ramp such that the robotic platform continues powered travel over the ramp when the robotic platform approaches the ramp within an angle range of 0 and 15 degrees with respect to either of the first and second sides of the ramp. The method may further include receiving, by the roller backstop assembly, the robotic platform from the roller assembly and then docking the robotic platform.

Method for the automated docking of robotic platforms

Various embodiments are directed to a docking station for a robotic platform. The docking station may include a ramp having a first side and a second side opposing the first side, a base pad, a roller assembly, and a roller backstop assembly. The roller assembly may be coupled to the ramp and the base pad. The roller assembly may be configured to allow a robotic platform being driven towards the ramp to continue powered travel onto the ramp for docking when the robotic platform approaches the ramp within an angle range of 0 and 15 degrees with respect to either of the first and second sides of the ramp. The roller backstop assembly may be coupled to the roller assembly and the base pad. The roller backstop assembly may receive the robotic platform from the roller assembly to dock the robotic platform.

Various embodiments are directed to making partial selections of multidimensional information while maintaining a multidimensional structure. A server computing device may receive multidimensional data describing a structure of a physical object from one or more sources. The server computing device may then determine a data subset representative of the multidimensional data describing the structure of the physical object. The server computing device may then store the data subset on a storage device. Finally, the server computing device may send the data subset to a client computing device for displaying the structure of the physical object. The data subset may enable the client computing device to utilize fewer hardware computing processing, memory, and bandwidth resources to display the structure of the physical object than are associated with displaying the physical object using the multidimensional data. The client computing device may be incapable of displaying the multidimensional data.

Various embodiments are directed to facilitating imagery and point-cloud based facility modeling and remote change detection. A computing device may receive collected data for a facility. The collected data may include spatial image data obtained from light detection imaging and ranging systems (LiDAR), multispectral data, and thermal data. The computing device may then analyze, based on software models generated for previously collected data for the facility, the collected data to determine changes in the previously collected data. The computing device may then update the models upon determining changes in the previously collected data. Finally, the computing device may generate an alert based on the updated models when any changes in the previously collected data are above a predetermined threshold corresponding to a current security or operational condition associated with the facility.
