Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images via scene-based editing using image understanding facilitated by artificial intelligence. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems generate utilizing a segmentation neural network, an object mask for each object of a plurality of objects of a digital image. The disclosed systems detect a first user interaction with an object in the digital image displayed via a graphical user interface. The disclosed systems surface, via the graphical user interface, the object mask for the object in response to the first user interaction. The disclosed systems perform an object-aware modification of the digital image in response to a second user interaction with the object mask for the object.

Abstract: A drop perception system is disclosed that includes an open housing structure having an internal volume, an open top and an open bottom, and a plurality of perception units positioned to capture perception data within the internal volume at a plurality of locations between the open top and the open bottom of the open housing.

Abstract: In a cartridge device for analyzing a body liquid, a first member of the cartridge has two or more wells for performing assays, and a second member of the cartridge has a compartment for holding one or more disposable pipette tips.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that modify digital images using an intelligent user interface tool that determines the intent of a user interaction. For instance, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems receive, via a graphical user interface of a client device, a user interaction with a set of pixels within a digital image. The disclosed systems determine, based on the user interaction, a user intent for targeting one or more portions of the digital image for deletion, the one or more portions including an additional set of pixels that differs from the set of pixels.

Abstract: Methods of operating a haptic actuator to apply physical and/or thermal sensations to a user to provide subjective symptom relief to a user are described. In some embodiments, a haptic actuator may be automatically activated when one or more detected user states are compared to one or more predetermined activation parameters to determine the user is experiencing an episode related to a condition of the user. In another embodiment, one or more operating parameters of a haptic actuator may be updated if the haptic actuator did not provided a desired amount of subjective symptom relief to a user during use. In yet another embodiment, a haptic actuator may create an event log based on activation events when the haptic actuator is used to provide symptom relief for a condition of the user.

Abstract: An automated carrier system is disclosed for moving objects to be processed. The automated carrier system includes a discontinuous plurality of track sections on which an automated carrier may be directed to move, and the automated carrier includes a base structure on which an object may be supported, and at least two wheels assemblies being pivotally supported on the base structure for pivoting movement from a first position to a second position to effect a change in direction of movement of the carrier.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that implement depth-aware object move operations for digital image editing. For instance, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems determine a first object depth for a first object portrayed within a digital image and a second object depth for a second object portrayed within the digital image. Additionally, the disclosed systems move the first object to create an overlap area between the first object and the second object within the digital image. Based on the first object depth and the second object depth, the disclosed systems modify the digital image to occlude the first object or the second object within the overlap area.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that implement perspective-aware object move operations for digital image editing. For instance, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems determine a vanishing point associated with a digital image portraying an object. Additionally, the disclosed systems detect one or more user interactions for moving the object within the digital image. Based on moving the object with respect to the vanishing point, the disclosed systems perform a perspective-based resizing of the object within the digital image.

Abstract: A programmable motion system is disclosed that includes a dynamic end effector system. The dynamic end effector system includes an end effector that is coupled via a dynamic coupling to the programmable motion system, wherein the dynamic coupling provides that at least a portion of the end effector may spin with respect to an other portion of the end effector.
