  • Method and system for training a robot
    Patent number: 12427660
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for training a robot to recognize objects in the workspace of the robot. Objects in the workspace are identified by the user, and the robot determines candidate objects. Feedback may be used in order for the user to confirm whether the candidate object determined by the robot system matches the object intended by the user. Gripping information for the object may also be identified by the user to train the robot how to grip the object.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCING DATA PRIVACY OF AN INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM OR ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240160754
    Abstract: Techniques for configuring data protection settings for data of an industrial system or an electric power system are provided. The industrial system or the electric power system includes at least one gateway via which the data are transmitted to a computing resource for processing and/or storing. One or several privacy-preserving techniques to be applied to the data are automatically determined. The one or several privacy-preserving techniques being determined based on data privacy requirements for the data and processing operations to be performed on the data by the computing resource. The determined one or several privacy-preserving techniques are automatically applied.

  • Method and System for Robotic Programming
    Publication number: 20230373098
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for programming robots by operators without expertise in specialized robot programming languages. In the method, inputs are received from the operator generically describing a desired robot movement. The system then uses the operator inputs to translate the desired robot movement into software commands that direct the robot to perform the desired robot movement. The robot may then be programmed with the software commands and operated to perform the desired robot movement.
