No. 10,259,649 assigned to the assign ee of the present application describes a warehouse management system. The syste m comprises inter alia a fleet of autonomous robots used to move items around th e warehouse and a shelving system comprising vertical support posts and horizont al rails that support shelves on which the items are stored. The robots comprise a set of on-board sensors, a processor, software, and other electronics configu red to provide them with three-dimensional navigation and travel capabilities th at enable them to navigate and travel autonomously both along the floor and up and down specially designed vertical rails and along specially designed horizonta l rails that either are attached to the existing vertical support posts and hori zontal rails of a retrofitted shelving system or replace them in a new shelving system. This ability of the robots to travel in three dimensions allows them to pick items from or place items at any location on the floor or shelving system of the warehouse. In the same manner, the system could also function as an automa ted pick system by moving, picking and put-away items inside a vehicle.

Furthermore, the amount of content that is available via many systems has expanded enormously.

However, prior to delivery, the items are typically sorted and packaged in a warehouse facility. The sorting and packaging of individual or grouped items can be a time intensive process and the packaging material is often discarded shortly after the item is delivered. The items can be shipped to customers using traditional delivery methods, however, these delivery methods can be long and slow and can cause the items to be moved and handled frequently. Additionally, items that are being shipped to customers located in a similar area are often shipped separately and delivered to the customers using delivery vehicles with limited capacity.”

As anexample , many people suffer from serious joint problems that require surgical procedure s to implant artificial joints. Every year physicians implant millions of artificial joints in procedures that require the patient’s bone to be modified to acce pt the implant. The most common joint procedure is knee replacement. The modification of bone in knee replacements involves making a series of flat cuts at the ends of the two main adjacent long bones that will be joined by the implant. Ideally these cuts are made precisely complementary to the shape of the implant. A flat surface of healthy bone opposed to the analogous surface of the implant results in the strongest healing of the connection, with less chance of complications or implant failure.

When the cameras do not provide good images (e.g., the camera view is blocked or the camera viewing angle is not the expected one), then itis not possible to perform an image analysis of the state of the vehicle.

Examples include automotive transmission units that transmit engine forces to the wheels of an automobile, bicycle cables that trans mit the rider’s grip force to the brakes, and hydraulics that drive the links of an excavator arm. “Mechanical transmissions can also be used to drive the links of robot arms. In a hydraulic robot arm, each joint is actuated by a piston inside a hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic fluid fills the cylinder on each side of the piston and can pus hit in either direction. The pressure drop across the piston and hence the piston force is regulated by electronically controlled valves at the base of the robot.

An outer rotor motor has larger torque than an inner rotor motor, and is widely used especially in robots and drones. A stator iron core is an important component of the outer rotor motor.

Advancement in technology is starting to provide in-home devices that support various monitoring functions to allow parents to monitor babies. These devices can be complicated to employ and typically require significant involvement by parents. This reduces user compliance and collection of consistent monitored data. What is needed are better solutions to baby health monitoring.”

Robotic devices can operate autonomously by generating a map of the environment for navigating, avoiding obstacles while performing work, and for planning a movement path. Robotic devices localize themselves within the environment to locate their position within the map of the environment. For a robotic device to function autonomously, it must be able of repeatedly determining its location in the environment after executing a movement within the environment. To execute tasks autonomously robotic devices must have a sense of their location within its surroundings, particularly to avoid repetitive tasks that have already been completed. For example, for a robotic device, a repetitive task may be cleaning an area that has already been cleaned.”
