Abstract: A robotic fruit picking system includes an autonomous robot that includes a positioning subsystem that enables autonomous positioning of the robot using a computer vision guidance system. The robot also includes at least one picking arm and at least one picking head, or other type of end effector, mounted on each picking arm to either cut a stem or branch for a specific fruit or bunch of fruits or pluck that fruit or bunch. A computer vision subsystem analyses images of the fruit to be picked or stored and a control subsystem is programmed with or learns picking strategies using machine learning techniques. A quality control (QC) subsystem monitors the quality of fruit and grades that fruit according to size and/or quality. The robot has a storage subsystem for storing fruit in containers for storage or transportation, or in punnets for retail.

Abstract: A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet that defines a chilled chamber. The cabinet has an outer casing with a first front flange and a second front flange. The first and second front flanges are connected at a mitered joint. Each of the first and second front flanges has a tab extending into the outer casing. The tabs of the first and second front flanges are plastically deformed together at the mitered joint.

Abstract: A method for constructing a refrigerator appliance is provided. The method includes mounting a plurality of interior components of the refrigerator appliance to a mold body, applying a liner material to the mold body and removing an inner liner of the refrigerator appliance from the mold body. The method can assist with limiting mounting of components of the refrigerator appliance to the inner liner after formation of the inner liner.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-executable instructions for testing computer programs are provided. A computer program (application under test—AUT) is analyzed and data records are created for each user interface object of each screen of the AUT. The data records form a dataset which may be copied and edited to define a series of test functions to be performed on the AUT. Corresponding test code is provided to perform the test functions, the test code referencing the data records of the dataset.

Abstract: The present subject matter provides a refrigerator appliance and a method for manufacturing the same. The method includes applying a polyurethane elastomer onto a surface of an inner liner of the refrigerator appliance and injecting a polyurethane foam into a cavity defined between an outer case of the refrigerator appliance and the inner liner. The polyurethane elastomer can limit or prevent leakage of the polyurethane foam from the cavity.
