Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A robot and a method for creating a robot path. The method for planning the robot path includes generating a depth map including a plurality of cells by measuring a distance to an object, dividing a boundary among the plurality of cells into a plurality of partitions according to individual depth values of the cells, and extracting a single closed loop formed by the divided boundary, obtaining a position and shape of the object located at a first time through the extracted single closed loop, calculating a probability that the object is located at a second time after t seconds on the basis of the obtained position and shape of the object located at the first time, and creating a moving path simultaneously while avoiding the object according to the calculated probability, thereby creating an optimum path without colliding with the object.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for planning a path of a robot comprising: generating, by a computer, a depth map including a plurality of cells by measuring a distance to an object; dividing a boundary among the plurality of cells into a plurality of partitions according to individual depth values of the cells, and extracting a single closed loop formed by the divided boundary; obtaining a position and shape of the object located at a first time through the extracted single c…
