Abstract: A method for training mobile robots in virtual environment involves operating a virtual environment generation system configured to render a virtual environment comprising a course and obstacles. The method operates as a virtual robot in the virtual environment and a training interface with a training layer to adjust the complexity of the course and types and quantity of the obstacles. The method determines a navigation score for the virtual robot. The method logs frames from the sensor channels of the virtual robot while navigating through the course and the obstacles and communicates logged frames to a machine learning pipeline that applies at least one filter to the logged frames to generate training frames for a machine learning model. The method retrains the machine learning model with the training frames to generate a model update and applies the model update to the classification model and generates a new virtual robot version.

Abstract: A control system for a building includes a controller configured to control a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system configured to condition a space within the building. An electronic device is configured to be in electronic communication with the controller and provides a first output to the controller that corresponds to a first state of the electronic device. The electronic device provides a second output to the controller that corresponds to a second state of the electronic device. In response to receiving one of the first output or the second output, the controller is configured to change a state of the HVAC system from a first state to a second state. In response to receiving the other of the first output or the second output, the controller is configured to change the state of the HVAC system from the second state to a third state.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide an apparatus and methods for assisting individuals in controlling respiratory rates. For example, a respiratory regulation apparatus is provided in the form of a plush animal toy that operates components to simulate the breathing rate of anxious individuals. The apparatus may include actuators that are controlled by a slotted cam that is dynamically rotated at varying speeds in a determined rotational direction. The actuators move inward and outward in relative directions to move a torso of the plush animal toy to simulate breathing. In certain aspects, actuators may expand outward while at the same time another actuator contracts inward to cause the torso to simulate realistic breathing movements. A processor controls the speed of the cam such that the simulated breathing of the animal toy apparatus can be reduced at a controlled rate to assist an individual in reducing their breathing rate to a calmer state.
