Provided is a robot including a chassis; a set of wheels coupled to the chassis; a plurality of sensors; a processor; and a tangible, non-transitory, machine readable medium storing instructions that when executed by the processor effectuates operations. The operations include capturing, with an image sensor disposed on the robot, a plurality of images of an environment of the robot as the robot navigates within the environment; identifying, with the processor, an obstacle type of an obstacle captured in an image based on a comparison between features of the obstacle and features of obstacles with different obstacles types stored in a database; and determining, with the processor, an action of the robot based on the obstacle type of the obstacle.
Front-End Circuitry For Multiband Frequency Management
The described technology provides front-end antenna architecture for wireless communication that manages multiple frequency sub-bands in a manner that results is a low insertion loss rate. Further, the components of the architecture are smaller than typical wireless communication antenna architectures, and therefore the described architecture can be accommodated in a smaller area than typical architectures without a decrease in efficiency. A matching circuit is communicatively connected to each frequency sub-band's respective signal path. When two or more sub-bands are requested for high-speed wireless communication, the matching circuits match the impedance of each sub-band with one-another. Matching the impedance allows two or more sub-bands to be used to wirelessly communicate while maintaining high efficiency. The matching circuits are disabled when only one sub-band is needed for wireless communication.
The described technology provides an antenna interface for wireless communication that allows the use of a single transmission line trace between at least one antenna and a transceiver of a wireless communications device. The components of the antenna interface include a first set of filters, a set of low noise amplifiers (LNAs) and a second set of filters. The antenna interface, which is communicatively coupled to the single transmission line trace, avoids the use of a coaxial cable and reduces issues related to the use of multiple transmission line traces.
