Abstract
A method, system, and device for mobile robot operations. The method comprises a mobile robot comprising at least one sensor configured to capture data related to the robot's surroundings traveling on a pedestrian pathway. The method also comprises the mobile robot using the sensor to collect data relating to moving objects in the robot's surroundings. The method further comprises detecting at least one pedestrian within the collected data, said pedestrian moving with a motion pattern. The method also comprises analyzing the pedestrian's motion pattern to determine and output the pedestrian's intent. The system comprises at least one mobile robot configured to travel on pedestrian pathways. The robot comprises at least one sensor configured to capture data related to the robot's surroundings and to collect data relating to moving objects in said surroundings. The system also comprises at least one pedestrian detector. The pedestrian detector is configured to process the sensor data to at least detect a pedestrian moving with a motion pattern. It is also configured to analyze the pedestrian's motion pattern and determine and output the pedestrian's intent. The robot comprises at least one sensor configured to capture data related to the robot's surroundings and to collect data relating to moving objects in said surroundings. The robot also comprises at least one processing component configured to process the sensor data to at least detect a pedestrian moving with a motion pattern, and analyze the pedestrian's motion pattern, and determine and output the pedestrian's intent.
