The smart bins are capable of collecting plastic items and taking multiple images thereof. The system determines information on type, weight, and location of the plastic resin in the plastic item by means of a trained CNN model, and stores in a repository. The system further includes a route optimization model that is enables selection of a set of collection units for procurement of the resin (of a specific type and a specific quantity).

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method and system for real time prediction of tire remaining useful life using a tire digital twin. Herein, the digital twin of the tire monitors a plurality of tires while accounting for runtime as well as parking operation of tires. During runtime, tire goes through multiple operational changes, therefore, the system is configured to estimate the operational changes. The estimation is done in the form of index, which is compared with the manufacturers' recommended value. Similarly, while vehicle is parked, tire still goes through changes which play an important role in its overall health, like, long pending wheel rotation can lead to flat spot. Tire inflation can change owing to cool down effect as well as uncontrolled natural leakages. Further, these parameter indexes are clubbed together to calculate the health index of the tire, which is used to estimate the tire's current remaining useful life.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for automated image segmentation of an anatomical structure such as heart. Most of the techniques in literature are using 2-D or slice by-slice data due to lightweight and need of less data for training. These networks lack 3-D contextual information. Further, the conventional techniques are inaccurate and inefficient in the 3-D image segmentation till the last slice of the image. The present disclosure solves automated 3-D image segmentation of the anatomical structure such as heart, by proposing a new Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) based architecture for the 3-D segmentation, with a patch-based extraction technique and a class-weighted generalized dice loss. The proposed 3-D GAN based architecture is capable of storing the 3-D contextual information for the image segmentation of the anatomical structure, with high accuracy.

Abstract: State of the art techniques used for document processing and particularly for handling processing of images for data extraction have the disadvantage that they have large computational load and memory footprint. The disclosure herein generally relates to text processing, and, more particularly, to a method and system for generating a data model for text extraction from documents. The system prunes a pretrained base model using a Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (LTH) algorithm, to generate a LTH pruned data model. The system further trims the LTH pruned data model to obtain a structured pruned data model, which involves discarding filters that have filter sparsity exceeding a threshold of filter sparsity. The structured pruned data model is then trained from a teacher model in a Knowledge Distillation algorithm, wherein a resultant data model obtained after training the structured pruned data model forms the data model for text detection.

Abstract: A system and method for navigation of a robot from a first area to a second area in a facility is provided. The present disclosure is providing robot navigation using the ‘Areagoal’ Navigation technique. ‘Areagoal’ class of problem is divided into two subtasks: identifying the area; and navigation from one area to another. The robot starts in first location and goes out of the current area if it is not in the target area. If there are multiple openings from the first area, it needs to select the most statistically close one to the target area and go there. If the target area is not reached, it backtracks to an earlier viable branch position to continue the target area search. The system takes input from RGB-D camera and odometer, while the output is action space (left, right, forward) with goal of moving to target area.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to automated packing of objects, and, more particularly, to a method and system for packing products with increased efficiency across packaging levels.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of electrolyte design. Existing methods focus on optimizing the electrolyte composition on a stand-alone basis with respect to its properties and validating battery performance experimentally which is a time-consuming process. Thus, embodiments of present disclosure provide an automated method and system for identifying electrolyte composition for optimal battery performance. The system receives certain input parameters and computes transport properties using the input. Then, a feasible electrolyte composition is identified from a material database based on deviation index metric. The identified electrolyte composition is then optimized based on the input by considering the deviation index and battery performance metrics such as capacity fade and internal heat generation.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to optimal intraday scheduling of aggregated Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). Owing to their stochastic nature, DERs aggregators are more suited to participate in intraday electricity markets. The current works on DER aggregators trading in intraday markets do not satisfactorily model the different aspects. The disclosure is an optimal trading strategy for aggregators managing heterogeneous DERs to participate in intraday markets. The intraday market is modelled using a joint price-volume dynamics distribution and an optimal bidding strategy is disclosed for the trades/bids placed earlier to be corrected based on the revised forecasts of demand and generation while allowing for energy exchanges within the DER pool. Further the optimal bidding strategy of aggregators in an intraday market is a MINLP problem, which is solved by converting the complex non-linearities in the problem into a coupled MILP—simple maximization set-up, which is then solved in an iterative fashion.

Abstract: Most current systems decompose sales volume of a product into base volume and additional volumes associated to each sales driver. Here base volume refers to sales quantity that is derived from non-promoted sales period. It leads base volume of a product with partial price effect. In addition, base volume includes volume contributed by store location, space allocated to product category and assortment etc. In the present disclosure a system and method for sales decomposition is described by computing reference base volume and sales contribution by each sales driver. Here reference base volume is the volume derived by excluding the effect of sales drivers namely, retailer price, competitor price, demographics, weather conditions, space occupied by the category to which the product belongs, number of available substitute products in assortment. Retail strategies are recommended in real time based on sales contribution of the sales driver for the product.

Abstract: Material handling of packed goods on pallets, roller cages within facilities is in huge volumes and consumes lot of operators' time and efforts. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an autonomous payload handling apparatus (APHA) that addresses the above material handling process by automating with an intelligent modular robotic platform. The APHA includes fork assemblies that slides alongside of the pallet for better balance over payload and maintains smooth navigation. The fork assemblies equipped with contact/vision sensors that enable APHA to determine whether there is any offset or any contact between surfaces of APHA and/or pallet. The fork assemblies capture sensor data of surrounding object(s) during navigation, size of payload, and pallet, etc. The captured sensor data enables the APHA to correct its offset and/or compute a mode of approach (e.g., navigating angle, deviating from obstacle(s), sliding through pallet/roller cages, and the like) to handle payload(s).

Abstract: State of art techniques for color regeneration are complex and fail to provide color control. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for generating color variants for fashion apparels by providing a Fashion Apparel Regeneration-Generative Adversarial Network (FAR-GAN) to generate color variants of the fashion apparels. The FAR-GAN utilizes a two-step encoding process to encapsulate both an input image and an edge-map information along with a target color embedding branch to manipulate the color information present in the fashion apparel present in the input image that is to be changed to a desired target color. Furthermore, the color and structural information is disentangled by controlling them using a color consistency loss. The FAR-GAN can be trained end-to-end without incorporating complex multi-step process.

Abstract: Present disclosure relates to method and synchronization system for synchronizing plurality of events associated with one or more processes in assembly line for tracing entity. Initially, information related to plurality of events associated with one or more processes from one or more devices is received, where each of the plurality of events comprises respective first timestamp.
