Adaptive safety systems for remote controlled demolition robots

Patentradars sammanfattning

This patent discloses construction equipment—exemplified by a remote-controlled demolition robot—featuring at least one environment sensor (lidar, radar, vision, or ultrasound) rigidly mounted on the rotatable tower so that it co-rotates with the tower and maintains a fixed viewing angle relative to the tool arm. A control unit processes sensor data to detect nearby objects and triggers graduated safety-related automated actions such as motion slowdown, full halt, control-command rejection, or operator notification. Safety behavior is modulated by detected object type (vulnerable person vs. work object), distance zones, currently mounted tool type, machine stability state, and outrigger deployment. The system also supports force-feedback joysticks, 3-D protected bounding volumes around vulnerable objects, self-collision avoidance, stability zones, scene-change detection, authentication-gated override, and safe-state resumption requirements.
