This level of accuracy cannot beachieved off-shore because these systems do not exist off-shore. In or der to have their locations tracked,larger commercial water vessels may have de dicated location technology that triggers a location to be sentvia satellite to a tracking tool periodically. These water vessels can share their location info rmation witha central server for tracking purposes. However, these location tra cking mechanisms are computationallyand practically expensive, and thus locatio ns are sent infrequently (e.g., every 15 minutes). While thisinfrequently updat ed location information may be effective on the open ocean, they may not be as effective near-shore (e.g., within twenty miles from shore) as more granular upda te may be needed forcommercial purposes, mariner safety, and rescue purposes. T his results in a hampered ability to trackcommercial water vessels for providin g updates on a central server, to provide a more frequent locationupdate of the water vessels near-shore to improve mariner safety, and to find mariners who ma y be indistress, thus resulting in failed rescue efforts where a distressed mar iner cannot be found. Moreover,smaller (typically personal) water vessels often do not have these satellite tracking mechanisms, and evenif they did, they ten d to travel at faster speeds that would make their trajectory impossible to calc ulatewith such infrequent location markers. This results in a blind spot for re scue agencies regarding smallerwater vessels, having little to no data or old d ata of smaller water vessels.

Such robotic manipula tors may function to increase repeatability of tasks, increase efficiencyof pro duction lines, and bring other benefits to their operators. These benefits may b e especially realizedwhen the robotic manipulators perform tasks under the same conditions. For example, a robotic manipulatormay include an end effector that is specialized to grasp a particular class of objects from known or fixedorien tations. If different objects (e.g., those having different dimensions, surface properties, and otherdifferences) or objects in unknown orientations are encoun tered, however, the robotic manipulator may beunable to achieve a grasp. Becaus e of this, other systems that rely on the object being manipulated maybe impact ed and the benefits of the robotic manipulator may be minimized.”

In many cases, in particular urban areas, there are limitations on the size of the Vertiports,stemming from real estate scarcity. The present invention rel ates to various features which facilitate ahigh traffic-rate aerial transportat ion system with a low-footprint Vertiport.

However,this data does not facilitate RPA or imp rovements thereto in and of itself. Indeed, businesses may or maynot be aware o f processes that could benefit from RPA. Accordingly, an improved mechanism for analyzingdata for RPA and extracting processes therefrom may be beneficial.”

A vehicle with no auto nomy is designated as Level 0, andwith Level 1 autonomy, a vehicle controls ste ering or speed (but not both), leaving the operator to performmost vehicle func tions. With Level 2 autonomy, a vehicle is capable of controlling steering, spee d andbraking in limited circumstances (e.g., while traveling along a highway), but the operator is still requiredto remain alert and be ready to take over ope ration at any instant, as well as to handle any maneuverssuch as changing lanes or turning. Starting with Level 3 autonomy, a vehicle can manage most operatingvariables, including monitoring the surrounding environment, but an operator is still required to remainalert and take over whenever a scenario the vehicle is unable to handle is encountered. Level 4 autonomy provides an ability to operat e without operator input, but only in specific conditions such as only certaint ypes of roads (e.g., highways) or only certain geographical areas (e.g., specifi c cities for which adequatemapping data exists). Finally, Level 5 autonomy repr esents a level of autonomy where a vehicle is capableof operating free of opera tor control under any circumstances where a human operator could also operate.

We are able tohandle dishes without difficulty even w hen dishes are located together with a number of other dishes. Formost of us, h andling such dishes when they are located inside a kitchen cabinet or a sink isn ’t much ofa hassle either. This is because human vision is gifted with a sophis ticated perception capability that haslearned to estimate the three-dimensional positions and orientation of the things we see. The combinationof our percepti on capability together with our planning and control capabilities yields us the ability toeasily grip dishes and move them from one location to another securel y.
