Patent number 11861276 is assigned to RoboTire Inc. (Canton, Michigan, United States).The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied bythe inventors: “Removal and replacement of wheels from a vehicle has traditionally been a manual andtime-intensive process. Such manual operations often lead to inefficient operations, and potential physicalhazards to a person performing the removal. Accordingly, certain aspects of the wheel removal andreplacement process may be automated or semi-automated with the use of robotics. These robotic systemsrequire guidance systems to locate the wheel and/or components of the wheel. With the use of theseguidance systems, the robotic system may physically interact with the wheel. Accordingly, there is thepotential to utilize these robotic systems in various vehicle service environments. Although such guidancesystems are becoming increasingly accurate, users of such systems (e.g., clients or customers) may stillbe hesitant to allow robotic systems to interact with vehicle components over concerns that componentsof the wheel such as the rim may be damaged. Moreover, when such robotic systems are deployed in acustomer environment, it may be necessary for the guidance systems to accurately account for differentwheel configurations for the various types of vehicles that may be serviced. Accordingly, ensuring theaccuracy of these guidance systems becomes increasingly important. Thus, there is a continued need toimprove techniques to accurately locate components of a vehicle wheel.”
