Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-A patent by the inventors Diankov, Ros en Nikolaev (Tokyo, JP), Mizoguchi, Hironori (Tokyo, JP), filed on April 18, 202 2, was published online on February 20, 2024, according to news reporting origin ating from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx correspondents. Patent number 11904468 is assigned to Mujin Inc. (Tokyo, Japan). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: "Robots (e.g., machines configured to automatica lly/autonomously execute physical actions) are now extensively used in many fiel ds. Robots, for example, can be used to execute various tasks (e.g., manipulate or transfer an object) in manufacturing, packaging, transport and/or shipping, e tc. In executing the tasks, robots can replicate human actions, thereby replacin g or reducing human involvements that are otherwise required to perform dangerou s or repetitive tasks. Robots often lack the sophistication necessary to duplica te human sensitivity and/or adaptability required for executing more complex tas ks. For example, robots often have difficulty selectively gripping object(s) fro m a group of objects with immediately neighboring objects, as well as irregular shaped/sized objects, etc. Accordingly, there remains a need for improved roboti c systems and techniques for controlling and managing various aspects of the rob ots."
