Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and processes that use millimeter wave radar or other remote sensing to enhance mobility applications. Obstacles may be detected using remote sensing. Acceleration of a mobility apparatus may be controlled based on detection of the obstacle. The controlling may be performed based on characteristics of the obstacle, including location, type of obstacle, and/or trajectory of the obstacle.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a mobility apparatus;
- a remote sensor configured to generate sensor data about a vicinity of the mobility apparatus;
- a processor configured to generated filtered sensor data by filtering the sensor data;
- a computing module configured to determine, based on the filtered sensor data, whether an obstacle is present in the vicinity of the mobility apparatus;
- and
- a drive controller configured to alter an acceleration of the mobility apparatus based on whether the obstacle is present in the vicinity of the mobility apparatus.
