    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – A patent by the inventors Ebrahimi Afr ouzi, Ali (San Diego, CA, US), filed on September 9, 2021, was published online on September 3, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Alexandria, V irginia, by NewsRx correspondents. Patent number 12079007 is assigned to AI Incorporated (Toronto, Canada). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “Autonomous robotic devices are becoming increas ingly common in consumer homes and industrial spaces. In several instances, auto nomous robotic devices are desirable for the convenience they provide to a user. For example, autonomous robotic devices may be used for cleaning, managing wast e, packaging items, manufacturing items, transportation, and security. However, in some cases, only a portion of a task is automated by robotic devices and huma n intervention is still required to complete the entire task. For example, a rob otic vacuum can autonomously vacuum an area, however, human intervention is requ ired to empty the dustbin. In another example, a robotic device can autonomously extrude an object, however, human intervention is required to refill the materi al from which the object is manufactured from. An autonomous robotic device that can automate all portions of a task from beginning to end can be beneficial.”

    Patent Issued for Identifying overfilled containers (USPTO 12080040)

    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 originatin g from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx journalists, a patent by the inventors De v, Bodhayan (Sturbridge, MA, US), Kamble, Atish P. (Acton, MA, US), Swaroop, Pre m (Lexington, MA, US), filed on March 23, 2023, was published online on Septembe r 3, 2024. The assignee for this patent, patent number 12080040, is The Heil Co. (Chattanoo ga, Tennessee, United States). Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Identification of overfilled containers is useful in many ind ustries. For example, in the refuse industry, refuse container overages, contain er damage, and misplacement, may pose complications for refuse collection and cu stomer billing. A refuse collection company may operate a fleet of refuse collec tion vehicles that operate regularly to collect refuse from the containers of va rious customers and transport the refuse to a processing site. An overage can oc cur, for example, when a container is filled above its rim, e.g., causing the li d to not close completely. If a customer consistently overfills their container( s), creating an overage, the refuse collection company may lose revenue by colle cting more refuse than the company agreed to collect from the customer. Moreover , an overfilled container may lead to operational problems in the mechanism(s) t hat empty the container into the vehicle. Contracts between the company and its customers are priced, and the containers are sized, based on an expected amount of refuse to be collected. Accordingly, a refuse collection company typically ch arges an overage fee for an overfilled container.”

The patent’s assignee for patent number 12075732 is Husqvarna AB (Huskvarna, Swe den). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “BACKGROUND ART “Lawn striping is a technique for creating patterns on lawns by flattening one r ow of grass in one direction and an adjacent row of grass in another direction. Typically, lawn striping is applied on sports fields such as football- or baseba ll fields in which the grass on the entire field is striped in parallel rows of grass that is flattened in opposite directions.

    Researchers Submit Patent Application, 'Leg and Foot Configuration for Spring-Fr ee Legged Locomotion', for Approval (USPTO 20240294221)

    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journali sts report that a patent application by the inventors Abate, Andrew (Corvallis, OR, US); Bernards, Mitchell (Lake Oswego, OR, US); Hurst, Jonathan (Albany, OR, US), filed on June 30, 2021, was made available online on September 5, 2024. The patent’s assignee is Agility Robotics Inc. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Legged robots typically move in ways that are quite differ ent from animals. In part, this difference is due to the different actuation and materials used; typical robotic actuators have very high reflected inertia, whi ch can cause large impact forces that threaten damage to the robot’s components and can destabilize the movement of the robot. Animals achieve fast ground conta ct with minimal impact forces through the use of physical compliance in tendons, foot flexure, fat pads, and other mechanisms. While a spring-mass solution has been demonstrated successfully in robotic systems (Raibert robots, Bowgo, ATRIAS , ARL Monopod II, and others), control is a major problem when mechanical compli ance is a significant feature in the design of a robot. These robots tend to be able to walk and run, enabled by their hardware, but are less able to do more ge neral tasks due to the difficulty of controlling spring behavior within the syst em.

The patent’s assignee is Ocado Innovation Limited (Hatfield, Herts, United Kingd om). News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Online retail businesses selling multiple product lines, s uch as online grocers and supermarkets, require systems that are able to store t ens or even hundreds of thousands of different product lines. The use of single- product stacks in such cases can be impractical, since a very large floor area w ould be required to accommodate all of the stacks required. Furthermore, it can be desirable only to store small quantities of some items, such as perishables o r infrequently-ordered goods, making single-product stacks an inefficient soluti on.

    Patent Issued for Training machine learning models with training data (USPTO 120 79694)

    142-144页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News – A patent by the inventors Kong, Liang (Santa Clar a, CA, US), Tolstov, Oleg (San Carlos, CA, US), filed on August 28, 2020, was pu blished online on September 3, 2024, according to news reporting originating fro m Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx correspondents. Patent number 12079694 is assigned to Volkswagen AG (Wolfsburg, Switzerland). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “As devices become more complex and as more devi ces operate autonomously (e.g., autonomous vehicles (AVs)), machine learning (ML ) models, artificial intelligence (AI) models, etc., are often used to control t he operation of these complex and/or autonomous devices. Machine learning models may also be used to generate inferences, actions, decisions, etc., based on dat a that is received from various devices (e.g., based on sensor data, such as ima ges/videos). To improve the operation of the machine learning models, training d ata is often used to train the machine learning models prior to their operation. Thus, using good training data is useful for the proper and/or improved operati on (e.g., execution) of machine learning models.”

    Application or Functionality? The Type of Information Matters: The Impact of Inf ormation about Artificial Intelligence on AI Usage Intention and AI Aversion

    145-145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: “Even though AI applications are becoming more and more ubiquitous in everyday l ife, there is still little understanding of how AI functions on a technical leve l as well as a lack of understanding about the areas in which AI is used among t he general public. Aim of our study is to investigate whether information about functionality of AI and on applications areas of AI is influencing AI usage inte ntions over a wide variety of topics (e.g., art, healthcare, transport). Additio nally, we also want to investigate whether AI aversion can be reduced by providi ng participants with information (functionality and application) on AI.
