Abstract: A user interacts with an autonomous mobile device (AMD) using a voice user interface. The voice user interface allows a user to instruct the AMD to move, stop, go to a specified location, and so forth. The commands may include, but are not limited to: stop, stop moving, move, turn, go to, stay here, go away, and so forth.

The AMD will avoid traversing the first region until a timer expires or a command to enter the first region is given.

Abstract: A millimeter-wave phase array system may include massive heterodyne transceivers as its building elements. A transceiver of each element may include an IQ image rejection heterodyne transmitter and a receiver. Each transmitter may include a single DAC, a Tx I channel, and a Tx Q channel. Each receiver may include an Rx I channel, an Rx Q channel, and a single ADC. For Tx IQ image rejection calibration, amplitude and phase offsets are determined, using both the Tx I and Tx Q channels from a first element and using only one of the Rx I or Rx Q channel from a second element. The IQ channel imbalances are compensated using the offsets in analog domain. A similar procedure is used for Rx IQ image rejection calibration with alternated signal path enabling. A frequency response variation of an RF front end is detected with a single path Tx/Rx channel setup.

Abstract: A device with a microphone acquires audio data of a user's speech. A neural network accepts audio data as input and provides sentiment data as output. The neural network is trained using training data based on input from raters who provide votes as to which sentiment descriptors they think are associated with a sample of speech. A vote by a rater assessing the sample for a particular semantic descriptor is distributed to a plurality of semantically similar semantic descriptors. Semantic descriptor similarity data indicates relative similarity between possible semantic descriptors in the semantic space. The distributed partial votes may be aggregated to produce training data comprising samples of speech and weights of corresponding semantic descriptors. The training data is then used to train the neural network. For example, the neural network may be trained with the training data using per-instance cosine similarity loss or correlational loss.

In some examples, first intent data representing a semantic interpretation of the first natural language input data may be determined by using a first natural language process associated with the first skill.
