  • Patent number: 11915807
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques of using machine learning to automatically extract clinical variable values for subjects from clinical record data. The techniques designate certain clinical variables as hybrid variables that can be assigned values by machine learning model prediction. The techniques process, using a machine learning model trained to predict a value of a hybrid variable, clinical record data associated with a subject to obtain a predicted hybrid variable value and an associated confidence score. The techniques set the value of the hybrid variable for the subject to the predicted hybrid variable value when the model prediction is of sufficiently high confidence.

  • Patent number: 11562524
    Abstract: An example control system includes a memory and at least one processor to obtain image data from a given region and perform image analysis on the image data to detect a set of objects in the given region. For each object of the set, the example control system may classify each object as being one of multiple predefined classifications of object permanency, including (i) a fixed classification, (ii) a static and fixed classification, and/or (iii) a dynamic classification. The control system may generate at least a first layer of a occupancy map for the given region that depicts each detected object that is of the static and fixed classification and excluding each detected object that is either of the static and unfixed classification or of the dynamic classification.

  • Publication number: 20210200500
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein related to selecting a telepresence device action. In one implementation, an electronic device determines a non-verbal characteristic of a communication of a first user intended for a second user at a remote location. The electronic device may determine a characteristic of the second user and select a delivery action based on a translation of the non-verbal characteristic to the second user based on the characteristic of the second user. The electronic device may transmit information about the selected delivery action to an electronic device to cause the electronic device to perform the selected action to provide the communication to the second user.

  • Publication number: 20210137438
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to control systems for mobile robots. An example control system obtains sensor data from multiple onboard sensors of a robot, and, based at least in part on input detected from the multiple on-board sensors, the control system determines a physical characteristic of a human actor moving in a region where the robot operates. Based on the physical characteristic, the control system may detect a mood of the human actor and alter the operation of the robot in response to the detected mood.

  • Publication number: 20200387912
    Abstract: In one example, a computer system for customized order fulfillment includes modules in a computer readable medium that a processor executes. An order module accepts an order for an object from a customer with a set of options, a set of preferences, and a representation of the customer. A unique ID module associates a unique ID with the object. A binding module physically binds the unique ID as an appurtenance of the object. A display module displays the representation of the customer in a vicinity of the of the appurtenance for the object after fulfillment of the order.

  • Patent number: 10616681
    Abstract: In example implementations, a system is disclosed for suppressing ambient sounds. In one example, the system includes a camera, a plurality of microphones, a plurality of speakers and a processor. The camera captures an image of a target, the plurality of microphones receives ambient sounds and a plurality of speakers outputs an audio signal to suppress the ambient sounds. The processor is in communication with the camera, the plurality of microphones and the plurality of speakers. The processor can identify a location on the target based on the image that is captured, determine a direction and a frequency of the ambient sounds, and generate the audio signal based on the direction and the frequency of the ambient sounds, the audio signal is directed towards the location on the target.
