The autonomus product |
|
In many cars today there is already functionality and intelligens that enables you to let go of the steering wheel when driving, some cars even provide self driving on a high way for example, names varies between manufacturers but most of them have in one or the other way.
Many cars have also a parking function that enables the car to park on it's own, some even after the driver have left the car.
What is missing to make the product autonomous is to replace the driver in the sense of scan the surroundings, detect dangers and see how to handle the traffic situation for example.
To replace the human eyes and give the control system input to avoid dangers and so on it's possible to use multiple techniques such as cameras, radar, lidar, laser or ultrasonic sound. This creates images in the system that can be interpreted through ”machine learning” or "deep learning".
With this technique the system learns to interpret different situations that enable the car to manoeuvre itself in the situation, for example stop when a pedestrian is crossing a zebra crossings.
The autonomous technique isn't limited to be used only in wehicles, it can be used with many different products in different environments where it can help the operator to see obstacles, automate some operations etc.
This could help to manouver the product to avoid the obstacles to prevent a collision or make it more efficient to use.
An example is a rock in bushes when cleaning the roadside the system can detect the stone and lift the cutting tool, when moving snow the system can see the curb on the road and adjust itself.

The technology can also be used for face or person recognition, that could enable that the machine recognize the operator. If an unauthorized person comes into the vicinity of the machine you could apply a warning or stop the machine until the person is on a safe distance again.
With facial recognition you could for example have intelligent guiding of people in big buildings to reach the correct meeting room,. Imagine you enter a big building, conference center or similar, when entering the building you are met with a sign with your name telling you welcome and then starts guide you to the correct place. You are then guided to an elevator that is already set to the correct floor, when the elevator doors opens you see your name on a new sign guiding you or informing you what to do next. Finally when entering the correct room the personell is prepared for your arrival and you get immediate attention. |
