Teleoperated System for Diverse Industries

This inventive concept leverages the core technology of the original patent to expand into new industries, including agriculture, warehouse management, search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and disaster response, offering improved efficiency, precision, and safety.

The original patent addressed the limitations of teleoperated systems in the field of teleoperation. However, these systems have broader applications beyond their original scope. This inventive concept solves the problem of adapting the core technology to new industries, where the need for precise control and alignment is equally crucial.

The new inventive concept comprises a teleoperated system, adapted for diverse industries, which includes an input device and a control system with one or more processors and a memory. The control system determines the orientation of an end-effector relative to a specific reference frame and commands a change in the pose of the end-effector to align with the reference frame. In agriculture, the system optimizes harvesting by aligning the harvester with crop rows. In warehouse management, the system navigates and retrieves items using a teleoperated forklift. In search and rescue, the system navigates a robotic platform through a search area. In environmental monitoring, the system collects data using a teleoperated sensor platform. In disaster response, the system responds to disaster scenarios using a teleoperated robotic system.

The new inventive concept introduces novel applications and use cases for the core technology, expanding its scope beyond the original patent. The inventive step lies in adapting the system to address specific challenges in each new industry, while maintaining the core functionality of precise control and alignment.

Alternative embodiments may include adapting the system for other industries, such as healthcare, construction, or logistics. Variations may include using different types of end-effectors, sensors, or control systems to suit specific industry requirements.

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in the target industries, offering improved efficiency, precision, and safety. The market for teleoperated systems in these industries is substantial, with potential customers including agricultural companies, warehouse operators, search and rescue teams, environmental monitoring agencies, and disaster response organizations.
