    摘要: A system for improving navigation of robots in a space with a plurality of pedestrians or other movable objects or obstacles. The system includes a traffic analysis assembly that has a traffic sensor(s) sensing movement of the obstacles in the space. The traffic analysis assembly further includes a processor running a flow module that processes (such as the Gunnar-Farneback optical flow algorithm) output from the traffic sensor to generate traffic analysis results, which include density values for the obstacles in the space and motion information for the obstacles in the space (e.g., speed and direction). The system includes a robot with a controller running a navigation module selecting a navigation route between a current location of the robot and a target location in the space using the traffic analysis result. The workspace is configured such that the obstacles such as pedestrians have unregulated flow patterns in the space.

    摘要: Aspects described herein include a user display unit that determines a portion of a presentation currently being viewed by a user through a transparent display. For example, if the display area is a theater screen, only a portion of the screen may be viewable to the user through the transparent display. The display unit may display metadata on the transparent display with a spatial relationship to one or more objects in the presentation. For example, the display unit may output a text bubble near an actor in the presentation that provides an interesting fact about the actor which may overlay or occlude the presentation. In one aspect, if the object in the presentation moves or the display unit is reoriented, the display unit may move the metadata to maintain the spatial relationship between the object and the metadata in the transparent display.
