Abstract: Systems and methods for robotic path planning are disclosed. In some implementations of the present disclosure, a robot can generate a cost map associated with an environment of the robot. The cost map can comprise a plurality of pixels each corresponding to a location in the environment, where each pixel can have an associated cost. The robot can further generate a plurality of masks having projected path portions for the travel of the robot within the environment, where each mask comprises a plurality of mask pixels that correspond to locations in the environment. The robot can then determine a mask cost associated with each mask based at least in part on the cost map and select a mask based at least in part on the mask cost. Based on the projected path portions within the selected mask, the robot can navigate a space.

Abstract: Systems and methods assisting a robotic apparatus are disclosed. In some exemplary implementations, a robot can encounter situations where the robot cannot proceed and/or does not know with a high degree of certainty it can proceed. Accordingly, the robot can determine that it has encountered an error and/or assist event. In some exemplary implementations, the robot can receive assistance from an operator and/or attempt to resolve the issue itself. In some cases, the robot can be configured to delay actions in order to allow resolution of the error and/or assist event.

Abstract: Persistent storage contains a training dataset and a test dataset, each with units of text labelled from a plurality of categories. A machine learning model has been trained with the training dataset to classify input units of text into the plurality of categories. One or more processors are configured to: read the training dataset or the test dataset; determine distributional properties of the training dataset or the test dataset; determine, using the machine learning model, saliency maps for tokens in the training dataset or the test dataset; perturb, by way of token insertion, token deletion, or token replacement, the training dataset or the test dataset into an expanded dataset; obtain, using the machine learning model, classifications into the plurality of categories for the expanded dataset; and based on the distributional properties, the saliency maps, and the classifications, identify causes of failure for the machine learning model.
