  • Patent number: 11977976
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of machine-learning is described that includes obtaining a test dataset of scenes. The test dataset belongs to a test domain. The method includes obtaining a domain-adaptive neural network. The domain-adaptive neural network is a machine-learned neural network taught using data obtained from a training domain. The domain-adaptive neural network is configured for inference of spatially reconfigurable objects in a scene of the test domain. The method further includes determining an intermediary domain. The intermediary domain is closer to the training domain than the test domain in terms of data distributions. The method further includes inferring, by applying the domain-adaptive neural network, a spatially reconfigurable object from a scene of the test domain transferred on the intermediary domain. Such a method constitutes an improved method of machine learning with a dataset of scenes comprising spatially reconfigurable objects.

  • Patent number: 11886174
    Abstract: Embodiments simulate a manufacturing resource including a cable by creating a polyline model of the cable that includes a collection of points. For each point, there is an associated point mass and zero mass sphere, and an assigned elasticity and torsional stiffness between the point and adjacent points. Position and orientation of a start point and an end point of the points is defined based upon position in three dimensional (3D) space of a manufacturing resource. In turn, a simulation of the cable for a time step is performed by computing forces on each point using: (i) the associated point mass, (ii) the associated zero mass sphere, (iii) the assigned elasticity and torsional stiffness between the point and adjacent points, and (iv) the defined position and orientation of the start point and end point. Performing the simulation determines position in 3D space of each point based on the computed forces.
