  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AGENTLESS ERROR MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20200042377
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for agentless error management by an agentless system. The agentless system can include a management processor and a memory that stores agentless management firmware. Execution of the firmware causes to obtain first graphic data corresponding to actual output graphics that are displayed via a display device. An error is detected in the actual output graphics. The error can indicate one or more differences between the actual output graphics and intended output graphics. The detected error can be addressed, such that it is remedied or attempted to be remedied by eliminating the differences and/or extraneous graphical content from the displayed data or actual output graphics.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TELE-PRESENT RECOVERY OF SELF-DRIVING VEHICLES
    Publication number: 20190265698
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tele-present recovery of self-driving vehicles are disclosed. The system comprises one or more self-driving vehicles, a server, and a master-assistance device. The vehicle operates in a full-autonomous mode until a problem is encountered, triggering a vehicle status associated with a master-assisted intervention. A master-assisted intervention request and associated environment state information are sent from the server to the master-assistance device. A human operator of the master-assisted intervention device provides input indicative of operational commands for the vehicle. The operational commands are received by the vehicle, and the vehicle is operated in a semi-autonomous mode based on the operational commands. When the problem has been resolved, an assistance complete message is sent to the vehicle, and the vehicle returns to operating in the full-autonomous mode.
