New Patent for Robot Motion Redirection

Chinese company Zhiyuan Robot, specializing in the development and manufacturing of robots, has received a patent for a new technology that significantly improves the capabilities of robot interaction in complex and unpredictable environments. The patent, registered to Zhiyuan Innovation (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd.

, describes a "method for robot motion redirection, information carrier, electronic device, and product". The patented method is based on a multi-stage process. First, motion data from an object that needs to be imitated is converted into initial robot motion data.

Then this data is optimized taking into account the robot's physical constraints, such as joint rotation angles and maximum movement speed. The next stage involves detecting and preventing collisions between the robot and surrounding objects. Finally, a safety check is performed on the resulting motion trajectory to exclude any potentially dangerous situations.

A key advantage of this method is its ability to account for the robot's real physical constraints. This makes it possible to avoid situations where the robot attempts to perform a movement that is physically impossible, which could lead to equipment damage or injury. Additionally, the collision prevention system ensures safe robot operation in a dynamic environment where object locations are constantly changing.

Safety verification is another important element of the patented technology. It allows for the identification and elimination of any potential risks associated with movement execution. For example, the system can detect that a planned movement would overload one of the robot's joints and correct the motion trajectory to prevent this.

The implementation of this technology will significantly expand the scope of robot applications. They will be able to work more efficiently in warehouses, factories, and other enterprises requiring high precision and movement coordination. Additionally, the development will open new opportunities for using robots in the service sector, for example, for caring for elderly people or assisting people with disabilities.

Overall, the patent represents an important step toward creating more intelligent and safe robots capable of solving a wide range of tasks in various conditions.
