Software upgrade system for autonomous mobile robots
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11928456B2) discloses a software upgrade method for autonomous mobile robots within a data distribution service domain. The method involves the autonomous mobile robot publishing its software version information to a version synchronization topic and receiving updated version information. If inconsistencies are detected, a software update procedure is initiated. Depending on whether the robot's software version is the latest, it either uploads its software to a software update topic or downloads the latest version from the topic. The process is guided by identification numbers and software versions of the robots, ensuring efficient software updates based on the sequence of identification numbers.
Additionally, the patent includes a non-transitory recording medium storing program instructions for executing the software upgrade method on autonomous mobile robots within the data distribution service domain. This medium enables the robots to publish their software version information, subscribe to version synchronization topics, and initiate software update procedures when discrepancies are found. The method ensures that the robots always have the latest software version by uploading or downloading from the software update topic based on the comparison of software versions and identification numbers. This innovative approach streamlines the software upgrade process for autonomous mobile robots, enhancing their performance and functionality within the data distribution service domain.
