Title

(EN) METHOD FOR OPERATING A ROBOT

(FR) PROCÉDÉ DE FONCTIONNEMENT D’UN ROBOT

Abstract

(EN) A method for operating a robot (100) comprising a plurality of robotic arms (11-1, 11-2), the method comprising: generating (501), via a millimeter-wave radar sensor (20; 20-1, 20-2) of the robot (100), a first set of radar data indicative of a first object (41-1, 41-2) present within a first space (40), determining (502) that a first component (13) of one of the plurality of robotic arms (11-1, 11-2) exists within a second space (50), the second space (50) being a portion of the first space (40), determining (503) whether the first object (41-1, 41-2) is approaching the second space (50), and in response to determining that the first object (41-1, 41-2) is approaching the second space (50), causing (504) a movement of the first component (13). A robot, a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium, and a computer program product are also provided.

(FR) L'invention concerne un procédé de fonctionnement d'un robot (100) comprenant une pluralité de bras robotiques (11-1, 11-2), le procédé consistant à : générer (501), par l'intermédiaire d'un capteur radar à ondes millimétriques (20 ; 20-1, 20-2) du robot (100), un premier ensemble de données radar indiquant un premier objet (41-1, 41-2) présent à l'intérieur d'un premier espace (40), déterminer (502) qu'un premier composant (13) de l'un de la pluralité de bras robotiques (11-1, 11-2) existe à l'intérieur d'un second espace (50), le second espace (50) étant une partie du premier espace (40), déterminer (503) si le premier objet (41-1, 41-2) s'approche du second espace (50), et en réponse à la détermination du fait que le premier objet (41-1, 41-2) s'approche du second espace (50), amener (504) un mouvement du premier composant (13). L'invention concerne également un robot, un support de stockage non transitoire lisible par ordinateur et un produit-programme informatique.
