  • Publication number: 20230420980
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for power distribution systems that are capable of receiving and converting a variety of input power options. The power converter system may convert an AC power input into DC power and supplying this to a battery within the system. The power converter system may determine a first power requirement for a load. The power converter system may establish whether the power input is less than the first power requirement for the load. The power converter system may power, responsive to the determination that the power input is less than the first power requirement for the load, the load using a combination of the power input and a supplemental power supply from the battery, wherein the DC power from the battery is converted back to AC power using a phase inverter in the power converter system.

  • Publication number: 20220395978
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to robot camera control. A robotic device may receive a user input to control a camera operatively connected to the robot device; identify a live-motion filter applied to the camera; identify a filter setpoint associated with the live-motion filter; generate filtered position control data for the camera based on the user input, the live-motion filter, and the filter setpoint; generate joint data for the robot device based on the filtered position control data; and cause the camera to move according to the joint data.

  • Publication number: 20210213621
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to robotic drive control device. A robotic device may receive an indication associated with pressing an actuator on a handheld device, wherein the handheld device controls a movement of an end effector of the robotic device. The robotic device may record a home location associated with where the actuator was pressed in space. The robotic device may determine an orientation of the handheld device. The robotic device may detect a movement of the handheld device from the home location to a second location in space. The robotic device may cause the end effector of the robot to move in the same orientation as the handheld device from a stationary position that is associated with the home location while continuing to move the end effector even when the handheld device stops moving at the second location.

  • Patent number: 10960543
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to robotic point capture and motion control. A robotic device may synchronize one or more robotic device axes with one or more axes of a handheld control device. The robotic device may establish a connection between a robotic device and the handheld control device, wherein the robotic device is capable of moving along the one or more robotic device axes. The robotic device may receive a control signal comprising an indication to transition to a point in space along travel path, wherein the travel path is based on information relating to one or more locations and one or more orientations of the handheld control device. The robotic device may cause to transition an end effector of the robotic device to the point in space based on the indication in the control signal.

  • Patent number: 10571902
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to robotic programming and motion control. A robotic device may determine a connection with a controller device, the controller device comprising one or more buttons and a pointing device. The device may identify one or more input locations associated with the controller device. The device may determine to follow a path of motion of the controller device based at least in part on the one or more input locations. The device may determine an indication of location transition associated with the controller device. The device may determine to transition an end effector of the robotic device to a first position in space relative to the location transition.
