Abstract: A robot moves about an environment and may interact with a user. A waypoint specifies where the robot is to move to with respect to the user while a proxemic cost map is used to plan the path to the waypoint. User input or preferences may be used to modify the waypoint or the proxemic cost map. The waypoint may specify a particular distance and bearing with respect to the user. The proxemic cost map may be oriented with respect to the user and specifies costs for particular areas. For example, an area immediately behind the user may have a very high cost while an area in front of the user may have a low cost. Based on the waypoint and the proxemic cost map, a path is selected and the robot moves along that path, avoiding the high cost areas in favor of the low cost areas if possible.

Abstract: Aspects of a storage device including a memory and a controller are provided. The memory includes a first partition having multiple dies as channels that are allocated to one or more zones. The controller may receive a write command and data from a host device, in which the write command indicates to write the data to a first zone. The controller may perform a write operation that writes received data to one or more of the plurality of dies that are allocated to a first zone. The controller may transfer the data from the first zone to a second partition in the memory that is associated with the first zone, when the storage device and the host device are in idle states. Thus, the controller can reduce the amount of overprovisioning of memory block allocation to small-sized zones, thereby improving the memory capacity and utilization of the storage device.

Abstract: An anti-rotation device for a pair of threaded components includes a pair of ratchet interfaces and a spring element. A first ratchet interface and the spring element are movably disposed within a first threaded component, and a second ratchet interface is disposed at a mating end of a second threaded component. During relative rotation of the pair of threaded components, the ratchet interfaces engage, providing a resistance to the threaded components loosening that is greater than a resistance that the ratchet interfaces provide to the threaded components tightening. The anti-rotation device engages automatically upon relative rotation of the threaded components, and not as a separate step occurring after rotation. Additionally, the anti-rotation device may be especially useful in systems where various types of movement can cause the threaded components to loosen, and where visual access to the anti-rotation device is impeded.
