Title: A method of operating a machine comprising am implement
Inventor: JOHN FRANCIS ROULSTON
IPC: E02F3/43
Filed: 2018-05-01
Abstract: A method of operating a machine comprising an implement (Figure 1, 11) configured for motion in at least three degrees of freedom, the method involves receiving an input and in response to the input, moving the implement from first to second positions. The movement being constrained to either a first motion in a first plane or a second motion in a second plane. Then sensor data 51 from an IMU (inertial measurement unit) attached to the implement and indicative of the movement of the implement is received and it is determined 55 whether the movement is the first or second motion. Then a first 56 or second 57 estimation mode is selected based upon the determination that the movement is the first or second motion respectively and then the first or second estimation mode is implemented to estimate the trajectory of the implement and the second position based upon the sensor data.

Title: Emergency braking system for a mobile robot
Inventor: ARTEM MINICHEV
IPC: F16D125/62
Filed: 2019-03-28
Abstract: A robot 205 includes a frame 215; wheel 210A, 210B; brake 225A, 225B; electromagnet (405; fig. 4) with pivotably connected magnetic trigger 235, and a cable 230 connecting the brake to the trigger. The brake includes a spring (315a, 342A; fig. 3) urging a brake pad (310a, 312A; fig. 3) towards a wheel surface (320A; fig. 3). When the electromagnet is energized (i.e. “on”; non-emergency braking; figures 2, 4, 6, 9) the trigger is retained against the electromagnet and pulls the cable, pulling the brake pad away from the wheel surface. When the electromagnet is de-energized (i.e. “off”; emergency braking; figures 5, 10), the trigger is released and the spring pushes the brake pad against the wheel surface and pulls the cable, pulling the trigger pivotally away from the electromagnet. There may be two wheels, each including a brake, both triggered by the electromagnet and cable and each powered by separate motors 220A, 220B in the non-emergency braking mode. The cable may pass from the first brake through cable guides (415A,B,C; fig. 4), e.g. grooves/pulleys coupled to the trigger, to the second brake. The robot may include a safety controller for determining when to release the trigger.
