Abstract: Robotic systems and methods for collecting trash are provided. The robotic system includes a vehicle, a camera, a trash collection unit, an actuator, and a controller. The vehicle includes a drive. The camera moves with the vehicle to capture images of the trash while the vehicle moves along ground. The trash collection unit is carried by the vehicle to collect the trash. The trash collection unit includes a vacuum pump and a collection conduit. The actuator is operatively coupled to the collection conduit to adjust a position of the collection conduit relative to the vehicle to position the collection conduit adjacent to the trash to collect the trash. The controller is coupled to the drive, the camera, the trash collection unit, and the actuator to coordinate movement of the vehicle, positioning of the collection conduit, and operation of the vacuum pump to collect the trash.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a tumor or a cancer, wherein the method comprises administering to the subject therapeutically effective amounts of an anti-TIM3 antibody, alone or in combination with an inhibitor of the PD-1 signaling pathway (e.g., anti-PD-1 antibody). In some embodiments, the antibody is administered as a flat dose or a weight-based dose.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for communicating between devices using short-range communication links. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for communicating access-right data between devices for verification or transfer.

Abstract: A method navigates a robotic mower (2) by means of a wire (4, 8). The robotic mower (2) comprises at least one sensor (12, 14). The method comprises controlling the robotic mower (2) to exit a parking position at a station (11), wherein in the parking position the robotic mower (2) is at least partially arranged at an inside of a loop (10) of the station (11), determining that the robotic mower (2) has moved further outside of the loop (10) by detecting at least one signal of the loop (10) by means of the at least one sensor (12, 14), detecting at least one signal of the wire (4, 8) by means of the at least one sensor (12, 14) and controlling the robotic mower (2) to straddle along the wire (4, 8).

Abstract: A method navigates a robotic mower (2) comprising at least one sensor (12; 14). The method comprises detecting (S101), by means of the at least one sensor (12, 14), at least one signal from a wire (8) as a first signal source; controlling (S106) the robotic mower (2) to follow the wire (8) at a first distance (D1) to the wire (8); detecting (S108), by means of the at least one sensor (12, 14), at least one signal from a second signal source; detecting (S109) a second distance (D2) based on the at least one signal from the second signal source; and navigating (S110) the robotic mower (2) along a path determined based on the first distance (D1) and the second distance (D2).

Abstract: The disclosure provides a robotic mower and its path planning method, system and device. The method includes controlling the robotic mower to exit the charger station until it is outside the loop of the charger station and continue to move for a random distance; and controlling the robotic mower to search the boundary wire or guide wire, wherein the boundary wire is pre-laid at the edge of the working area of the robotic mower, the guide wire is pre-laid in the working area of the robotic mower; the robotic mower is controlled to move by following the boundary wire or guide wire until a predetermined target distance is traveled. With the disclosure, tracks generated when the robotic mower exit the charger station along a fixed path can be avoided, and the damage to the lawn or vegetation can be reduced.
