  • Patent number: 12103187
    Abstract: A path planning method and a biped robot using the same are provided. The method includes: generating a candidate node set for a next foot placement based on a biped robot's own parameters and joint information of a current node, adding valid candidate nodes in the candidate node set to a priority queue so as to select optimal nodes for realizing next node expansion. These optimal nodes are output to generate a foot placement sequence from an initial node to a target node, which can greatly reduce the search amount for path nodes when the robot's legs intersect and touch the ground, thereby improving the efficiency of path planning.

  • Patent number: 12107873
    Abstract: The invention discloses a blockchain-based intrusion detection system for railway signal, which is built on a blockchain's distributed chain structure, without a central, trusted control center. This design mitigates the vulnerabilities associated with centralized intrusion detection centers. Additionally, by utilizing a blockchain-based distributed structure, it also eliminates the risk of a single point of failure for the intrusion detection center. Moreover, the data within the blockchain-based intrusion detection system is highly resistant to malicious tampering. This is achieved by leveraging the consensus mechanism inherent in the blockchain, which can achieve consensus among intrusion detection nodes. The current invention solves the internal evil attacks and avoid the inability to reach consensus between nodes due to internal evil, thereby affecting the intrusion detection performance; at the same time, the intrusion detection model can resist external network attacks.

  • Patent number: 12107816
    Abstract: System and methods are directed to displaying interactive content with static content in a user interface of an application. More specifically, it may be determined that an interactive component is to be rendered in a user interface of a first application, where the user interface includes static content. In response to determining that the interactive component is it be rendered, at least one linking parameter may be determined for linking the interactive component with interactive content stored in a shared storage. Based on the at least one linking parameter, the interactive component may be rendered in the user interface of the first application in-line with the static content of the user interface of the first application. Changes to the interactive content made by a second user of a second application may then be updated within the interactive component rendered in the user interface of the first application.
