  • Publication number: 20250229417
    Abstract: A robotic training system enabling intuitive skill transfer through human demonstration using paired devices, allowing robots to perform complex manipulation tasks traditionally requiring extensive manual programming or expensive hardware setups. Leader robotic devices configured for human manipulation and follower robotic devices replicate the leader's movements. Force sensors, torque sensors, or force-torque sensors measure and process force data, torque data, or force-torque data for recording training demonstrations for artificial intelligence (AI) models. Demonstration devices include user control interfaces, multiple workspace viewpoints, motion modification for haptic feedback, and interchangeable end effector tools. A control system enables automatic transitions between position and force control based on sensed interactions, while incorporating learned policies from demonstrations with visual and force data.

  • Publication number: 20120317238
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided for obtaining information from third-party domains over a network in a secure manner. One exemplary approach involves loading, by a first domain on a first computing system, a second domain in an inline frame within the first domain and providing a script location on a third domain to the second domain. The second domain executes the script location on the third domain, for example, by generating a cross-domain function call such as a JSONP request, to obtain object data and provides the object data to the first domain. In one embodiment, a virtual application on the first domain presents at least a portion of the object data from the third domain within a web browser on a client device concurrently to presenting tenant data obtained from a multi-tenant database.
