Some endoscopic surgical instruments may be suitable for place ment of a distalend effector at a desired surgical site through the cannula of a trocar. These distal end effectors mayengage tissue in a number of ways to ac hieve a diagnostic or therapeutic effect (e.g., endocutter, grasper,cutter, sta pler, clip applier, access device, drug/gene therapy delivery device, and energy delivery deviceusing ultrasound, RF, laser, etc.). Endoscopic surgical instrum ents may include a shaft between the endeffector and a handle portion, which is manipulated by the clinician. Such a shaft may enable insertion toa desired de pth and rotation about the longitudinal axis of the shaft, thereby facilitating positioning of theend effector within the patient. Positioning of an end effect or may be further facilitated through inclusionof one or more articulation join ts or features, enabling the end effector to be selectively articulated orother wise deflected relative to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.

Furthermore, there is also a trend for satellitenavigation and virt ual borders for such robotic lawnmowers. However, even the best satellite naviga tionmay suffer from reduced accuracy in some areas, where satellite reception m ay be reduced.

As parking facilities transition to more automatedsystems, impleme nting seamless vehicle entry and exit, they may require less or no intervention fromhuman operators and users of vehicles. While this transition may improve ef ficiency, it may introducechallenges in identifying the vehicles that enter or exit the space. For example, physical space limitationsin a parking facility ma y only allow for cameras facing the front of vehicles and environmental factors,such as glare, low-light, or weather conditions like snow and mud, may further obscure vehicles and theiridentifying information. Additionally, automated park ing management may introduce consequences ofemboldening bad actors to break rul es within the parking facility with fewer human eyes present. It isimpractical, from an implementation and computational efficiency perspective, to outfit park ing facilitieswith myriad cameras and computer vision to detect bad actions, gi ven that continuous monitoring forsuch a wide array of potential activities wou ld require enormous amounts of computing power.”
