Abstract: A robotic door lock includes a lockable spinner having a spinner shell coupled to a bolt rail and an axial profile coupled to a door handle or knob. A processor selectively engages the spinner shell with the axial profile via an actuator to enable the manipulation of the bolt. The robotic lock has a wireless module, an actuator, and a processor in communication with the actuator and a wireless module. The wireless module uses a wireless energy harvester configured to receive energy from a user device or a post infrastructure to power the processor, the actuator and the memory. The wireless energy harvester may be connected to an internal energy storage.

Abstract: A robotic post system includes one or more robotic posts having a processor and a memory. The robotic posts may include a manipulation arm and/or a swiveling and/or otherwise moveable trunk and/or base. Sensors provided on the robotic post enable the robotic post to rotate, tilt or move toward another robotic post to orient and secure a lockable band on one post with a lock on another post. A manipulation arm may grasp a lockable band and attach it to a lock, and either post may move away from the other to extend the length of a guide path.

Abstract: An access control system for enabling access of an attendant to a customer account on a cloud application hosted on a cloud computing system includes a vision sensor coupled with the cloud computing system. The cloud computing system stores customer accounts, an access factorization rule, location-based endpoints, and a supervisor identifier. The system determines that the customer and attendant are at a first endpoint and determines a particular interaction between the attendant and the customer, then factorizes an access indicator and either permits access or denies access of the attendant to the customer account, and may form and send a message comprising a denial of access semantic to the supervisor.

Abstract: A robotic post includes a processor and a memory. The robotic post may include a manipulation arm and a swiveling or otherwise movable trunk or base. One or more sensors provided on the robotic post enable the robotic post to determine the position and location of a piece of luggage. The processor, based on the sensor input, causes the robotic post to rotate, tilt or move toward the luggage to orient and secure a hook or gripper onto the handle of the luggage. The post may move, under control of the processor, to another location. When presented with authorization by a user, the luggage is released at the second location.
