From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journalists report that a patent application by the inventors LING, Huan-Chen (NEW TAIPEI CITY, TW); LIU, Tien-Ping (NEW TAIPEI CITY, TW); TSAI, Chung-Yao (NEW TAIPEI CITY, TW), filed on December 9, 2022, was made available online on February 15, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “ “Technical Field “The technical field relates to a self-moving robot, and specifically relates to a self-moving robot capable of automatically determining an accessible region and a method of automatically determining the accessible region. “Description of Related Art “There are different types of self-moving robots proposed in the market. A current self-moving robot may automatically build a map of a surrounding environment and move within the surrounding environment based on the map build by the self-moving robot. “To build the map more quickly, a self-moving robot being applied with a 2D radar is provided to the market. This type of self-moving robot usually has an extremely low body-height (e.g., the self-moving robot may be a sweeping robot). The robot performs 2D scanning to the environment by using the 2D radar to build a 2D map (such as a planimetric map); however, the 2D map built through using above approach may only provide 2D information about the obstacles. In other words, these type of self-moving robot moves and operates close to the ground, so the 2D information about the obstacles only includes the information of the obstacles that are existing close to the ground. In this scenario, the 2D map built by the self-moving robot lacks 3D information. When the body-height of the self-moving robot increases, it is easier for the self-moving to collide with the obstacles.
