Abstract: The assisted navigation system is intended to enable an assisted operation mode in ground mobile robots. The system is designed to achieve an autonomous relocation of a robot from one location to another location within a sidewalk, minimizing the need for constant human intervention. The system includes a camera for collecting the visual data needed to assess the terrain and potential obstacles, a collection of sensors to detect potential obstacles during assisted operations, a communication module to receive inputs from a remote operator to enable the activation of this system, a localization module for teleoperations, a local server module to store the information gathered, a processor configured to operate a robot in an assisted mode of operation based on input from the communication interface in which the robot performs a task without human intervention, and a communication interface coupled to the processor and configured to communicate control values to the systems of the mobile robot.

Abstract: A system and method involves detecting a trigger event during operation of an autonomous ground vehicle traveling between two physical locations; generating event sequence data from primary sensor data, secondary sensor data, spatiotemporal data, and telemetry data through operation of a reporter; communicating the event sequence data to cloud storage and raw data to a streaming database; transforming the raw data into normalized data stored in a relational database through operation of a normalizer; operating a curation system to identify true trigger events from the normalized data and extract training data by way of a discriminator; operating a machine learning model within an active learning pipeline to generate a model update from aggregate training data generated from the training data by an aggregator; and reconfiguring the navigational control system with the model update communicated from the active learning pipeline to the autonomous ground vehicle.

Abstract: The Resent invention includes a oil composition that contains a fat base and an uptake reducer. The oil composition is usable in both skillet frying and deep frying processes, and reduces the uptake of oil by fried food products without affecting the its sensory profile.

Abstract: A trans-fat free cocoa butter substitute and its production process which has a lower quantity of saturated fatty acids than cocoa butter, common cocoa butter substitutes, and lauric fats, for coating and molding applications in chocolate products with adequate texture, gloss, and melting profile characteristics, and a good speed of crystallization during a cooling process without tempering.

Abstract: Three adhesives formulated with Trimethylolpropane Trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) that do not contain BisGMA were developed, whereby the mutagenic and teratogenic risk by the release of bisphenol A is eliminated, and presented a better performance compared to the three commercial adhesives prepared with BisGMA (Adhesive A, Adhesive C and Adhesive B). The invention provides an adhesive used in one-step and provides a system which is formed by a primer and a slurry. The adhesives of the invention were compared with two commercial controls. They were physically characterized by assessing: hardening time, adhesion stress, elastic modulus, sorption and solubility at different pHs (6.8 and 7.7); by the obtained values premature detachments, white lesions below the appliance and microfiltration are avoided; its fluidity, film thickness were evaluated and were compared with those obtained from the three commercial adhesives. Storage stability and thermogravimetric analysis were assessed.
