Robotic end effectors are first normalized relative to t he workpiece prior to performing an operation on the workpiece. Normalizing an e nd effector can be more difficult than desired. Conventional normalizing compone nts can be more complicated than desired or limited in application.

However, this method takes a long time because the se condary battery needs to be fully charged or discharged. Thus, there is a need t o estimate the internal state of the secondary battery in a shorter time.

Typically the outermost shaft ma y be coupled to a hub for rotating the multiple arms about, for example, a centr al axis of rotation. Two inner shafts, for example, may be connected to a respec tive one of the multiple arms through independent belt and pulley arrangements. As may be realized, the larger the number of motors employed for effecting movem ent of the transport, the greater the burden on the control system controlling t he motion of the transport. Also, the larger number of motors employed increases the potential for motor failure as well as the cost of the transport.

These separate modes of communication have historically been imple mented by service providers whose services are not integrated with one another. The disconnect between these services, in at least some cases, requires informat ion to be manually passed by users from one service to the next. Furthermore, so me services, such as telephony services, are traditionally delivered via on-prem ises systems, meaning that remote workers and those who are generally increasing ly mobile may be unable to rely upon them. One type of system which addresses pr oblems such as these includes a unified communications as a service (UCaaS) plat form, which includes several communications services accessible over a network, such as the Internet, to deliver a complete communication experience regardless of physical location.”

On one hand, there is a need for improving the quality of service by i ncreasing the number of lanes and managing the service time. On the other hand, the costs on card issuers have risen drastically, and thus it is unlikely to gre atly increase the number of card issuers. Nowadays the labor-intense card-issuin g methods have been replaced with automatic card-issuing machines, which well ac hieves the goal of reducing the number of personnel but with increased efficienc y. It has incomparable advantages over manual card-issuing as it can provide 24- 7 services, but some limitations of the card-issuing machines should not be negl ected.

Rather, most of the works on summa rization are focused on legal judgments and contracts. An example is machine lea rning based techniques using different features to summarize legal judgments in the Australian Legal Information Institute (AustLII) corpus. One approach involv es using graphs, based on similarity of sentences in legal texts. Another approa ch assumes that a trial judgment text consists of seven rhetorical roles fact, p roceedings, background, proximity, distancing, framing, and disposal. Then, clas sification techniques can be used to assign rhetorical roles to the sentences, f ollowed by selecting the most relevant sentences from each rhetorical role using sentence ranking mechanisms.”

An online concierge system provides an interface t o a user identifying items offered by a physical warehouse and receives selectio ns of one or more items for an order from the user. In current online concierge systems, the shoppers may be sent to various warehouses with instructions to ful fill orders for items, and the shoppers then find the items included in the user order in a warehouse. The shoppers may then coordinate or provide delivery of o rders to a user.

Some mobile robots, known as mobile cleaning robot s, can autonomously perform cleaning tasks within an environment, e.g., a home. Many kinds of cleaning robots are autonomous to some degree and in different way s. For example, a cleaning robot can conduct cleaning missions, where the robot traverses and simultaneously ingests (e.g., vacuums) debris from the floor surfa ce of their environment.

Robots and cobots, by nature, outperform humans when it comes to strength, s tamina, and repeatability/uniformity in motion. To perpetuate the continuous ope ration of the cobot/robot, in a machine tool or other automated setting, a syste m is needed to supply parts of varied shapes at point of use. “Robots are used to improve productivity while reducing fatigue of humans. Where there is a shortage of labor, weekend, second and third shift robots keep opera tions productive. It is estimated that for every 10 people that retire from manu facturing operations only 2 people are entering the workforce. Robots were thoug ht to be the solution.
