DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING AUTONOMOUS ROBOT Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B25J13/08 

FIELD: physics, robotics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to robotics. According to the invention, all information processing steps (receiving data from servo drives and sensors, synthesis of models of surrounding objects based on the received data, analysis of synthesised models, identification of objects, generation and transmission of signals for controlling servo drives and sensor matrices) are performed with high degree of parallelism. The device employs a scene processing program technique when the role of elementary operands is assumed by entire two-dimensional and three-dimensional images. Along with reduction in volume of program codes, such a technique enables to create programs which are invariant with respect to the geometrical shape and spatial position of the processed models of objects. The main kernel which determines overall performance of the device is: an A×A×A (where A=n², n≥2 - an integer) uniform processor array with a large number of inter-processor connections, which model geometric transformation of rotation, transfer and compression over binary 2D and 3D images.

EFFECT: high adaptability of a robot system to external conditions, high speed, manoeuvrability and reliability of the robot, reduced weight, size and cost of the entire robot system.
