Abstract: An autonomous mobile device (AMD) moves through a physical space without human intervention. Data from sensors on the AMD are used to determine an occupancy map indicative of obstacles and their locations in the physical space. A navigation map is created from the occupancy map by inflating the apparent size of the obstacles indicated by the occupancy map. In one implementation the inflation process dynamically skips some portions of the occupancy map based on the presence of an obstacle and a designated inflation distance. The extent of the inflation is based on a size of the AMD. The navigation map is then used for path planning.

Abstract: The present application is directed towards systems and methods for automatic retrofitting of customized code objects during transformation of a system from a source installation to a target installation. In many instances, new objects may be created or objects modified on an online or production system while a development system is being upgraded. Simply copying the upgraded development system to the production system when complete would delete these new objects or modifications. Accordingly, the modifications or new objects may need to be retrofitted, or propagated to the development system and upgraded or transformed for compatibility with the new software, prior to placing the system online.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for manufacturing patient-specific bolus for use in targeted radiotherapy treatment. Based on dose calculations without a bolus and based on three-dimensional scan data of a patient, the example system generates a model of a bolus for targeting radiotherapy treatment to a planning target volume or target region within the patient. The system can perform several iterations to generate a resulting model for the bolus. Then, the system can generate instructions for controlling a three-dimensional printer to generate the bolus that conforms to the patient's skin surface while also specifically targeting the planning target volume for the radiotherapy treatment. In this way, the amount of radiotherapy treatment administered to other tissue is reduced, while the costs, time, and human involvement in creating the bolus are significantly reduced.
