Latest Patents

Shen Ying’s listed patents address robotic exploration and the reconstruction of structured indoor environments.

- **Autonomous exploration framework for indoor mobile robotics using reduced approximated generalized Voronoi graph.** This invention describes an autonomous exploration method that builds a reduced approximated generalized Voronoi topological map, selects a Next-Best-View, and plans a global route to it. The robot then navigates along the planned route using a visual force field algorithm.

- **Multi-story indoor structured three-dimensional modeling method and system.** This method processes a multi-story point cloud to identify floors and inter-story connection regions using elevation data. It segments rooms and indoor spaces, constructs vector indoor plans, and creates a three-dimensional model by removing overlapping surfaces between stories and connection regions.
