The patent's inventors are Dallet, Florent (Ramonville-Saint-Agne, FR), Duffaut, Simon (Castelginest, FR). This patent was filed on July 16, 2020 and was published online on June 4, 2024. From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the following quote: "APCs are well known. These cleaners often are char acterized as either "hydraulic" or "robotic" (or "electric"), depending on the s ource of their motive power. Hydraulic cleaners, for example, typically use pres surized (or depressurized) water to effect their movement within pools, whereas robotic cleaners typically utilize an electric motor to cause their movement. Mo reover, hydraulic cleaners frequently are subcategorized as either "pressure-sid e" or "suction-side" devices, with pressure-side cleaners receiving pressurized water output from an associated water-circulation pump and suction-side cleaners , by contrast, being connected to an inlet of the pump.

This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution. The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: "Traversing vertical or horizontal structures sa fely and efficiently requires either expensive lift equipment, complicated scaff olding, safety harnesses and personal protective equipment, and special training or licensing to deploy. Too often, these critical requirements are bypassed, ei ther due to lack of resources, training, experience, or enforcement, ultimately exposing personnel to the dangers of serious injury or death. To minimize these occurrences, the inventors have developed robotic assemblies that enable quick t raversal of those structures to include such examples as pipe, poles, columns, a nd trees." In addition to the background information obtained for this patent application, NewsRx journalists also obtained the inventors' summary information for this pat ent application: "The present disclosure relates to various implementations of r obotic assemblies and methods for traversing both vertical or horizontal structu res and/or carrying, retrieving, or installing a leave-behind module.

    Patent Issued for Brake assembly for a drive device in a robot (USPTO 11999056)

The patent's assignee for patent number 11999056 is Franka Emika GmbH (Munich, G ermany). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: "In particular for robots for use in the field of human-rob ot collaboration (HRC), it is imperative for safety reasons to provide an emerge ncy stop or braking device in the event of malfunctions or in the event of a sud den failure of the power supply, which is designed to stop the robot arm as quic kly as possible in order to prevent injuries to an operator of the robot system or to prevent the object manipulated by the robot arm in the course of the activ ity to be performed by it or the robot arm itself from being damaged. Such an em ergency stop can also be caused directly by the user himself, for example by act uating an emergency switch. "For example, a wide variety of embodiments of braking devices are known for joi nted-arm robots, with the aid of which the movement of the robot arm can be brou ght to an abrupt stop, or at least to a very rapid stop within a defined period of time. "In European Patent No. 3 045 273, for example, a braking mechanism has been pro posed in which a friction ring is mounted coaxially with the motor shaft, with w hich a pin of a locking device cooperates by radially engaging the pin in the fr iction ring in an emergency. Due to the fact that the friction ring is rotatable relative to the motor shaft under a defined frictional engagement, a low brakin g deceleration of the rotational movement is realized when the radial pin engage s.

The patent's inventors are Ben-Yosef, Guy (Tel-Aviv, IL), Brada, Rafael S. (Hod- Hasharon, IL), Foxall, Julian Matthew (Bristol, GB), Graham, Andrew Crispin (Bad minton, GB). This patent was filed on April 4, 2022 and was published online on June 4, 2024. From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the following quote: "Snake-like robotic arms are longitudinally extende d robotic devices with many degrees of freedom that may be inserted into various environments for the purpose of performing inspections, maintenance, or repairs . These arms often include a large number of controlled joints, coupled to camer as or other sensors that are inserted into parts to be inspected. "For example, a snake-like robotic arm can be inserted into an engine to inspect the internal components of the engine. The large number of degrees of freedom o f these devices allows them to be inserted into cluttered, confined, and/or othe rwise non-accessible parts of the engine. The images and other information obtai ned by the camera can be analyzed for signs of damage, wear, or other issues, wh ile repair and maintenance activity may extend the serviceable or useful life of the parts.

News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: "Large cities or cities with large populations can host a s ignificant amount of crime. The crime can be non-violent or violent crime and in volve the use of firearms. During crimes involving firearms, a user may fire a f irearm into the air or at various objects. Often times, authorities are notified about such a crime after the crime occurs and after the individuals involved ha ve traveled away from the area. Even in instances in which authorities are notif ied of a crime while the crime is occurring, the notification may take time to t ravel to the authorities and the authorities may not know the location of the cr ime or the authorities may receive the incorrect location of the crime. These ca uses for delay may result in the individuals committing the crime not being iden tified and/or the individuals having time to remove any evidence of being at the scene."

    Interactions of Filipino platform workers with AI systems: implications for desi gn and governance of labour platforms

    140-140页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-According to news reporting based on a preprint abstract, our journalists obtained the following quote sourced from os f.io: "A crucial feature underpinning labour platforms that attract vast numbers of wo rkers globally are artificial intelligence and algorithmic systems that perform labour management roles. Research in humanmachine communication (HMC) suggests that technologies endowed with human social cues are perceived as distinct 'soci al actors,' evoking responses from users or prompting users to seek responses fr om them. Drawing from the perspectives of Filipino platform workers in the ride- hailing and delivery sectors that interact with AI systems, this commentary high lights key dimensions of daily communicative experiences between location-based platform workers and their apps that oscillate around the competing experiences of visibility and opacity, (dis)trust, and care and surveillance. I argue that w orkers' experiences reflect their expectations of equitable and 'humane' labour management that yield important governance implications and call for rethinking the design of algorithms and artificial intelligence systems that underpin labou r platforms."
