Theoverlaid information may be additive to the natural environment.“There are several AR techniques to render virtual images over real-world objects. Simultaneous Localizationand Mapping (SLAM) is an AR technique that localizes sensors with respect to their surroundings,while at the same time maps the structure of the environment. Recognition-based (or marker-based) ARuses a camera to identify visual markers or objects to showcase an overlay only when the marker is sensedby the device. Location-based AR relies on GPS, a digital compass, a velocity meter, or an accelerometerto provide data about location, and the AR visualizations are activated based on these inputs.

These robots may automatically march in a certain area andperform cleaning, sweeping or other operations without user operation. Generally, the robot is installedwith a laser distance sensor (LDS) and thereby measures via the LDS a distance from the robot to variousobstacles in the work area during the working process to plot a simultaneous map of an area where therobot is located, and then feeds the map as plotted back to the user to allow the user to grasp the mapinformation of the area.”

Typically, theseentities have been large enterprise organizations with the associated resources (e.g., funding, technicalexpertise, etc.) that are necessary to design and implement AI systems. As a result, smaller entities, aswell as entities without a clearly defined use for AI systems have thus far been deterred from applying AIto their business needs. For both types of entities, this may be attributed to a lack of infrastructure forAI systems. These entities may also lack the expertise necessary to define their business objectives in AIterms and apply an AI system to optimize their business objectives. However, even existing AI systemsmanaged by enterprise organizations can be ineffective, as the individuals responsible for designing theAI systems lack the knowledge held by domain level experts that are engaged with the entity’s businessobjectives. Further, existing AI systems are often limited to predicting features defined by the entities,lacking capabilities to make decisions corresponding to the predicted features.

For example, robotic cleaning devices are now commonly usedto clean or care for many homeowner’s floors, windows, grills, lawns, and pools. Robotic cleaning devicesare also used in many industrial applications. Unfortunately, many robotic cleaning devices have a simplehard plastic cover that can be unappealing to the average user. These hard-plastic covers can becomemore unappealing over time due to their tendency to become scratched when bumping into, or travelingunder, furniture and other obstacles. Over time, the robotic cleaning device may become undesirable simplybecause the hard-plastic cover has become excessively scratched, even though the robotic cleaning deviceitself may still function properly.

For example,an online system may enable users to select vehicles for offer by the online system. Online systems provideuser interfaces to users that allow them to select the products or services that are available on the onlinesystem. However, users may browse through the available products or services of the online system withoutresulting in a conversion immediately. Instead, the online system may follow up with the user for a period oftime until the user is eventually converted. However, due to the large number of users browsing the onlinesystem, the online system may not be able to follow up on every lead. For example, given the large numberof users browsing the online system, a large amount of processing power, network bandwidth, and the likemay be used to follow up on every lead that is generated in the online system. Accordingly, the onlinesystems may benefit from an algorithm that prioritizes leads that are likely to convert and deprioritizes leadsthat are unlikely to convert. Moreover, the online system may benefit from an algorithm that optimizes thecommunications between the online system and users that are likely to convert, thus reducing the amountof processing power used for acting upon the leads and reducing the bandwidth used for following up onthe leads.”

Additionally, in a fast paced environment, delaying processing of a change order may introduceissues that would not arise if the change order were more expeditiously processed. Further, some changeorders may require immediate action while others are less important and may be delayed or not actedupon at all. However, the process of distinguishing change orders that may present issues that need to beaddressed from change orders that present fewer issues may consume a large amount of time and resources.The time and resources needed to distinguish pressing change orders from less pressing change orders mightbe reduced if there were a way to automatically perform that process and make that decision. Accordingly,there is a need for a more effective way to detect process change orders and provide appropriate actionswhen needed.”

By thisway, knowledge graph can provide a framework for data integration, unification, analysis and sharing.“Knowledge graph has been proposed to be used as a key in knowledge engine and search engine formapping the syntax of a complex natural language request into meanings and ultimately, mapping thosemeanings to computer applications that already run transactions and queries in an information system.Knowledge graph has also become an important tool for knowledge transformation and representation,and an important means for information mining, semantic analysis, knowledge generation and knowledgereasoning.

To ensure secure and precisemanipulation of the fluid container by the robotic transfer device, the container should be securely andrepeatably graspable by the robotic transfer device.

The use of an accumulationtable therefore prevents having to stop the upstream station as well.
