SYSTEM AND METHOD TO AUTOMATICALLY DETERMINE IRREGULAR POLYGON FOR ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD CONTAINMENT MODULES

摘要

According to some embodiments, an environmental hazard containment module may exchange location information with a plurality of remote containment modules. Hazard location information associated with an environmental hazard may be detected, and a containment configuration may be determined comprising a contiguous arrangement of the containment module and the plurality of remote containment modules such that the hazard location is within an area defined by the containment configuration. A motion portion may be instructed to move the containment module in accordance with the determined containment configuration. According to some embodiments, information associated with the containment configuration may be transmitted to the plurality of remote containment modules.

主权项

1. An environmental hazard containment module, comprising:
a communication device to exchange location information with a plurality of remote containment modules; a motion portion adapted to move the containment module; a computer storage unit for receiving, storing, and providing said data indicative of the location information; and a processor in communication with the storage unit and motion portion, wherein the processor is configured for:
detecting hazard location information associated with an environmental hazard,automatically determining a containment configuration comprising a contiguous arrangement of the containment module and the plurality of remote containment modules such that the hazard location is within an area defined by the containment configuration,communicating with the motion portion to move the containment module in accordance with the determined containment configuration, andtransmitting information associated with the containment configuration to the plurality of remote containment modules.
