ALIGNMENT TOOL FOR END EFFECTOR ATTACHED TO ROBOTIC ARM

Inventor
Flannery, Miles
Magee, John Patrick
Long, Paul
Abstract
Misalignment in a spraying end effector relative to a distal end of a robotic arm can cause unintended deviations to a width of sprayed band of material and/or cause an untended offset of the sprayed band of material relative to the intended center line. To address misalignment, an alignment tool can be provided to ensure that a rotatable spray tip and a rotatable spray guard of the spraying end effector maintain a fixed alignment relative to the distal end of the robotic arm. Misalignment in the pitch and roll axis can be effectively reduced or minimized by the alignment tool, so that the resulting sprayed band of material can be consistent over many sprayed bands. Also, the sprayed bands can have an accurate or intended width without a significant offset from the intended center line.

A collision avoidance and mitigation system (CAMS) includes a CAMS module having a housing and at least one of a sensor or a camera that is supported by the housing and one or more processing circuits. The one or more processing circuits being configured to acquire second CAMS data via a roadway camera positioned along a roadway regarding an approaching vehicle, evaluate a threat level of the approaching vehicle based on the second CAMS data, and transmit an alert signal to at least one of an alert system associated with the CAMS module, the approaching vehicle, or a portable device associated with the CAMS module in response to the threat level exceeding a threat threshold.
A collision avoidance and mitigation system (CAMS) includes a deployable drone including at least one of a first sensor or a first camera that has a first field of view and a CAMS module. The CAMS module includes a housing and at least one of a second sensor or a second camera that is supported by the housing and has a second field of view. The CAMS includes one or more processing circuits configured to acquire the first CAMS data regarding an approaching vehicle, evaluate a threat level of the approaching vehicle based on the first CAMS data, and transmit an alert signal to at least one of an alert system associated with the CAMS module, the approaching vehicle, or a portable device associated with the CAMS module in response to the threat level exceeding a threat threshold.
A vehicle system includes a response vehicle and a vision system. The response vehicle includes a light system including one or more lighting devices where the one or more lighting devices include a light bar and an audio system including at least one of a siren, a horn, or a loudspeaker. The vision system includes a plurality of vision modules. Each of the plurality of vision modules include a camera and at least one of a lidar sensor or a radar sensor. The vision system is configured to acquire vision data regarding a moving object approaching the response vehicle. At least one of the plurality of vision modules is deployable from the response vehicle and at least one of the plurality of vision modules is integrated into to the response vehicle.

A vehicle system includes a blocker vehicle, a vision system, and one or more processing circuits. The blocker vehicle includes an alert system. The vision system includes at least one of a camera, a lidar sensor, or a radar sensor. The vision system is configured to acquire vision data regarding an approaching vehicle approaching the blocker vehicle. The one or more processing circuits are configured to evaluate a threat level of the approaching vehicle based on the vision data and transmit an alert signal to at least one of the alert system, the approaching vehicle, or a portable device worn or carried by a person associated with the blocker vehicle in response to the threat level exceeding a threat threshold.
