US Patent #5,819,008Mobile Robot Sensor System • Patent Overview • Defines using IR sensor array for detecting obstacles and other agents via IR reflections or received transmissions. • Specifies a modulation scheme for IR transmissions. • Each agent in defined swarm has a unique ID. • Possible Infringement • Agents use IR transmissions and reflections to detect other agents and obstacles.
US Patent #5,652,489Mobile Robot Control System • Patent Overview • Defines an algorithm for behavior when an obstacle or other agent is detected when agent is following a predetermined path. • Defines an emission of a “hazard signal” when an obstacle or other agent is detected. • Defines a method of behavior when a “hazard signal” is received. • Possible Infringement • Agents follow a predetermined path. • Agents have an algorithm to control behavior when a obstacle or other agent is detected.
