Abstract: A method in accordance with a particular embodiment of the present technology relates to placing objects via end effectors of mobile robots using both coarse and fine manipulation processes. The method includes carrying an object while a portion of the object is disposed between opposable first and second fingers of the mobile robot. The method further includes moving the object to an intermediate placing state after carrying the object. The method also includes increasing a distance between the first and second fingers after moving the object to the intermediate placing state. The method still further includes nudging the object via contact between the object and the first finger after increasing the distance between the first and second fingers and while the second finger is out of contact with the object. This nudging urges the object from the intermediate placing state toward a subsequent placing state.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a burner panel including an outer enclosure having an outer surface and an inner surface and a burner enclosure disposed at least partially within the outer enclosure and having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein the outer surface of the burner enclosure and the inner surface of the outer enclosure define a cooling cavity. The burner panel can further include a cooling system disposed at least partially within the cooling cavity, the cooling system including a cooling fluid piping system in fluid communication with a cooling fluid inlet and one or more discharge openings comprising a slotted extension protruding from the cooling fluid piping system and defining a slot-shaped tube in fluid communication with the cooling fluid piping system, the one or more discharge openings configured to discharge a cooling fluid on at least a portion of the inner surface of the outer enclosure.
