For example, robotsystems may utilize robots on the drilling flo or of rigs, such as for aiding in handling sections of pipe. Forexample, robot systems may be used to aid in tripping in and/or tripping out drill string for e xample, bylifting and moving sections of pipe from one location to another on a drilling rig floor. Examples of suchrobot systems are described in WO 2020/160 440 to Donnally et al., and U.S. Pat. No. 10,053,934 toKeogh et al., each of wh ich is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. While the use ofrobot systems can decrease the risk of injuries to workers who would othe rwise be handling pipe sectionsmanually, the use of robot systems can take up v aluable rig space. In addition, robot systems may becomedamaged due to collisio ns between pipe sections or other heavy equipment and the robot on the rig floordue to the close proximity of equipment on the rig floor. In addition, pipe sec tions can be quite long anda robot’s position on the rig floor may limit how fa r the robot system can extend or reach to contact andsecure itself to a pipe se ction. Furthermore, the placement and movement of a robot system on the rigfloo r may create new risks for injuries to workers on the rig. Therefore, it may be desirable to positionone or more robots or a robot system relative to the rig f loor to reduce the risk of collision or injuries toworkers while also improving the robot’s reach and/or overall function.”

Business or marketers can design customer journeys to create targeted, personalizedadvertising campai gns for customers based on specific interactions with the customer, thereby impr ovingcustomer engagement and conversion rates. In order to design a journey, th e business/marketer mustmanually design the journey, test the journey on actual customers for period of a few weeks or months,manually evaluate how the journe y performs on the deployed customers, manually refine the journey, anditerate t his manual process until the business/marketer is satisfied with the results of the journey. Theslow, manual iteration process for implementing customer journe ys greatly reduces the time-to-value fora journey offering.”

One exampleapplication is detection, classification, and/or segmentation of unwanted and/or invasive plants, such asweeds. Another example application is detection, classification, and/or segmentation of plant d isease. Yetanother example application is detection, classification, and/or seg mentation of other types of plant traits,such as plant genus or species (either of which may fall under the definition of plant “type”), phenotypictraits (e.g ., gender, strain), and so forth. Various types of machine learning models can b e trained tosegment and/or recognize various types of plant traits in digital i mages. Convolutional neural networksare one popular example. However, the accur acy of these machine learning models depends largely on theamount of training d ata used to train them. Manually annotating training images on a pixel-wise basi sand/or using bounding shapes can be prohibitively costly. Moreover, images of plants having some traitsmay not be as widely available or easily acquired as i mages of plants having other traits.”

The sump pump sends the water into pipes that lead away from the property so that potential lower-level flooding may be avoided. As such, fail ures in the sump pumpcan have disastrous consequences including water damages a nd insurance losses. However, sump pumpfailures often occur without prior warni ng or may not be discovered until significant damage has alreadybeen done. Unfo rtunately, many currently available sump pump systems are not designed or equipp ed toautomatically detect impending sump pump failures, or remedy such failures even if they are detected.”

While conspecificbrood parasitism (CBP) is more common than interspecific para sitism, it is less studied due to the challengeof detecting parasitic eggs, whi ch closely resemble those of the host. Although molecular genotyping canaccurat ely detect CBP, its high cost has led researchers to explore egg appearance as a more accessiblealternative. Barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) are considered con specific brood parasites, but identifyingparasitic eggs has traditionally relie d on human visual assessment. Here, we used UV-visible photographsof non-parasi tized barn swallow clutches and simulated parasitism to compare the accuracy of humanassessment with automated methods.
