  • Patent number: 11958198
    Abstract: A lab automation system receives an instruction from a user to perform a protocol within a lab via an interface including a graphical representation of the lab. The lab includes a robot and set of equipment rendered within the graphical representation of the lab. The lab automation system identifies an ambiguous term of the instruction and pieces of equipment corresponding to the ambiguous term and modifies the interface to include a predictive text interface element listing the pieces of equipment. Upon a mouseover of a listed piece of equipment within the predictive text interface element, the lab automation system modifies the graphical representation of the lab to highlight the listed piece of equipment corresponding to the mouseover. Upon a selection of the listed piece of equipment within the predictive text interface element, the lab automation system modifies the instruction to include the listed piece of equipment.

  • Patent number: 11884155
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for creating and presenting a graphical user interface for display of autonomous vehicle behaviors. The techniques include determining a trajectory of a vehicle operating in a real-world environment. Sensors of the vehicle obtain sensor data representing an object in the real-world environment. A maneuver of the vehicle to avoid a collision with the object is predicted based on the sensor data and the trajectory of the vehicle. It is determined that a passenger comfort level of a passenger riding in the vehicle will decrease based on the maneuver of the vehicle. The passenger comfort level is measured by passenger sensors of the vehicle. A graphical user interface is generated including representations of the vehicle, the object, and a graphic, text, or a symbol alerting the passenger of the predicted maneuver. The graphical user interface is transmitted to a display device of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11875013
    Abstract: A computer system detects a wrist. In accordance with a determination that first criteria that require an inner side of the wrist facing toward a viewpoint are met, the computer system displays a first user interface object including a plurality of representations of different applications at a first position corresponding to a first location on the wrist. While displaying the first user interface object, the computer system detects that the wrist's position or orientation has changed to satisfying second criteria that requires an outer side of the wrist facing toward the viewpoint. In response, the computer system switches from displaying the first user interface object at the first position to displaying a second user interface object including a plurality of controls for controlling functions at a second position corresponding to a location on a back of a hand attached to the wrist.
