Abstract: A sensor pod system includes one or more sensor pods with a plurality of sensors configured to collect data from an environment. A sensor pod may have an effective field of view created by individual sensors with overlapping fields of view. The sensor pod system may include sensors of different types and modalities. Sensor pods of the sensor pod system may be modularly installed on a vehicle, for example, an autonomous vehicle and collect and provide data of the environment during operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: A system includes water-bearing household appliance which includes a controller apparatus for executing a treatment program from a plurality of treatment programs, with each of the treatment programs being defined by program parameters. A memory device stores treatment programs in the form of a N-dimensional matrix, with the treatment programs being associated with matrix elements of the matrix respectively. Each matrix element is determinable by a respective one of defined N-dimensional input vectors. An input captures a user input to change a program parameter, and a selection unit selects one of the defined N-dimensional input vectors as a function of the captured user input, with a determining unit determining a matrix element from the matrix as a function of the selected input vector. The controller apparatus carries out the treatment program associated with the determined matrix element.
