  • Publication number: 20210101280
    Abstract: A method for producing an optimized instruction set for guiding a robot through a service procedure includes fitting human operators with an XR headset and controllers, instructing the human operators to perform the same service procedure through a series of individual steps, monitoring the operator's movements, and recording the XR telemetry data produced by the headset and the controllers as the operator performs the series of steps within the service procedure. The XR telemetry data is analyzed, optimized and translated into an optimized set of instructions to enable a robot to perform the service procedure. In some aspects, machine learning and neural networks are used to acquire, aggregate, analyze and optimize the XR telemetry data.

  • Publication number: 20210101337
    Abstract: An end effector includes a continuous volume that holds a constituent and includes a nozzle, a suspension frame disposed within the continuous volume, an actuator, and an agitation needle that protrudes from the continuous volume through the nozzle. The actuator is suspended by the suspension frame within the continuous volume such that the constituent within the continuous volume is in direct contact with one or more of the actuator and the agitation needle. The actuator is configured to actuate such that, upon actuation, the constituent transforms from a static state to a pseudo-fluid like state for application with the end effector.

  • Publication number: 20210105714
    Abstract: A network system comprises a first logic block providing a link to a first network via an access point of a WLAN and a second logic block communicating with a node of a second network (such as a WPAN) and configured to provide a link between the node and the first network via the access point. The network system is configured to maintain continuous connections to both the access point and the node while receiving power. The second logic block can communicate with the node using a modified communication protocol that is only partially compliant with an 802.11x communications protocol. A wireless hub can integrate a WPAN with a WLAN including, in part, a wireless circuit compliant with the WLAN standard (such as an 802.11x standard), a processor, and a memory. The wireless circuit can connect to the WPAN without losing connectivity (such as association and synchronization) to the WLAN.
