A robo tic control system is a software systemthat controls the actions of physical de vices, e.g., actuators or robots. Robotic control systems oftenhave robotic pla nners that utilize simulators to evaluate candidate control plans or to allow us ers toobserve the effects of a candidate control plan. Different components of such systems might representcollision exclusion relationships in different form ats. For example, some planning systems represent collisionexclusion relationsh ips using a graph, while some simulators represent collision exclusion relations hips usingbitmasks. Converting between these formats is in general an NP hard p roblem computationally. Therefore,as the number of objects to be simulated grow s, the computational cost of performing the conversionquickly becomes prohibiti vely expensive to use for real-world robotics applications.”

Robots perform precise anddelicate tasks in the construction of electronic devices, in medicine and in aviation. Robots also are usedin applic ations that require motion, for example for automatic warehouses, where goods ar e retrieved andstored by automated robots. Other applications include fetching raw materials in the course of industrialmanufacturing and removing and packagi ng finished pieces. In home-related or domestic robotics fields,attempts have b een made to exploit robots for such tasks as lawn mowing, snow blowing, leaf cle aring,surface cleaning, pool cleaning and vacuum cleaning.

Inlaparoscopic procedures, the abdominal cavity is insufflated with an insufflation gas, e.g., CO2, to createa pneumoperitoneum thereby providing access to the underlying organs . A laparoscopic instrument isintroduced through a cannula accessing the abdomi nal cavity to perform one or more surgical tasks. Thecannula may incorporate a seal to establish a substantially fluid tight seal about the instrument to preserve the integrity of the pneumoperitoneum.

The automated orderfulfillment system further includes mobile robots whi ch move around the storage structure to transfercontainers or totes to and from the storage spaces within the structure. In one example, the storagestructure may include horizontal floors or platforms around at least a portion of the stor age structureenabling mobile robots to travel to and from the storage structure , horizontal tracks enabling mobilerobots to travel horizontally to and from st orage spaces on a given level, and vertical towers enablingmobile robots to tra vel vertically between levels.

Fo r example, an injection molding system is used, in some situations, to distribut e a polymer meltinto a cavity of a mold, after which the polymer melt solidifie s into a polymer product having the shape ofthe mold cavity. In some instances, it may be advantageous for the polymer product to include a foamedmaterial, su ch as when manufacturing a footwear sole (e.g., all of, or a portion of, a footw ear midsole).Systems configured to mold foam polymer products may include some components that are different fromsystems configured to mold non-foam polymer p roducts. For example, some injection molding systemsboth foam and mold the poly meric composition.”

Previoustrigger sprayer assemblies that met these criteria contained many small components that were difficult andtime consuming to assemble. In additio n, previous trigger sprayer assemblies were not generally designedfor easy inte rchangeability of parts such as shrouds, trigger handles, and nozzles. A durable and attractivetrigger sprayer assembly with interchangeable features that coul d be at least partially assembled throughautomated and/or robotic methods would therefore be useful.”

In variousexamples, these driver monitoring systems may include a single monocular camera located wi thin thecabin of the vehicle to monitor the driver and implement various operat ions that may enhance the driver’sexperience and/or safety within the cabin of the vehicle. However, in such examples, features and insightsthe driver monitor ing system may derive or determine from two dimensional images captured by the single monocular camera may be lacking and inaccurate. As such, the driver’s expe rience and/or safetywithin the cabin of the vehicle may be negatively affected. ”

A reliable andresponsible companion that caters to one’s needs, provides suppo rt, helps with house chores, interactswith people, and fulfills many other soci al functions is costly and difficult to find. With the drasticadvancement in te chnology areas, home assistants have been becoming more popular. However, conventional home assistants are limited in their capabilities. For example, smart spe akers are only able to answerqueries and commands, and robot vacuum cleaners ar e only able to clean floors.”
