Publication number: 20240157552Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods are described for robotic learning and execution of skills. A robotic apparatus can include a memory, a processor, sensors, and one or more movable components (e.g., a manipulating element and/or a transport element). The processor can be operatively coupled to the memory, the movable elements, and the sensors, and configured to obtain information of an environment, including one or more objects located within the environment. In some embodiments, the processor can be configured to learn skills through demonstration, exploration, user inputs, etc. In some embodiments, the processor can be configured to execute skills and/or arbitrate between different behaviors and/or actions. In some embodiments, the processor can be configured to execute skills and/or behaviors using cached trajectories or plans. In some embodiments, the processor can be configured to execute skills requiring navigation and manipulation behaviors.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: Diligent Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Andrea Lockerd THOMAZ, Vivian Yaw-Wen CHU, Peter WORSNOP, Reymundo GUTIERREZ, Lauren HUTSON, Shuai LI, Anjana NELLITHIMARU, Frank MATHIS

Publication number: 20160246885Abstract: A system and method for proactively making knowledge offers. A processor is configured to gather information on interactions by a user with resources provided by an enterprise having a customer contact center. The processor anticipates need of the user based on the gathered information, and generates a query based on the anticipated need. Prior to the user expressly requesting knowledge relating to a particular topic, the processor proactively identifies and suggests the knowledge to the user based on the generated query. The processor receives feedback relating to the suggested knowledge and outputs based on the feedback, a relevance score for the suggested knowledge.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2015Publication date: August 25, 2016Inventors: Bharath Aravamudhan, Conor McGann, Nitin Krishnanand, Bohdan Klepar, Andrey Ryabchun, Gordon Bell, Frank Gutierrez, Josef Eric Eisner, Nikolay Korolev, Herbert Willi Artur Ristock, Stanislav Lypchanskyy
