Application: Method and device for controlling mobile target robot for sensor calibration (Patent ID: US20240183984A1)

The patent filed by Kakao Corp. describes a method for controlling a mobile target robot for sensor calibration. The method involves receiving observation and position data from sensors on the robot, setting a virtual reference area for calibration based on sensor parameters, and controlling the robot to ensure the target is located in the reference area. The system transforms positions of the robot and target to be centered on the origin of coordinates, allowing for accurate calibration based on sensor parameters such as position, direction, field of view, and focal length.

The patent also includes specific claims related to transforming positions, setting the origin of coordinates, modeling vehicles for calibration, setting virtual reference areas based on sensor parameters, and controlling the robot to meet preset error conditions. The method involves user input through a graphic user interface, consideration of LiDAR and camera sensors, and adjusting joint angles of a manipulator attached to the robot to control the target's angle. Additionally, a device for implementing this method is described, including units for receiving data, setting references, transforming positions, setting virtual areas, and controlling the robot and target.
