Publication number: 20210279563Abstract: A method provides a set of predicted responses to a user. The method includes receiving a message from a user, the message having natural language information. The method includes processing, using cognitive switching logic (CSL), the natural language information and information from previous messages from the user. The method includes identifying, using CSL, a context of the natural language information based on the information from the previous messages. The method includes identifying, using CSL, at least one knowledge domain which contains a response to the message, based on the identified context and on user persona information. The method includes retrieving a response from each identified knowledge domain. The method further includes, in response to retrieving more than one response, transmitting feedback to CSL to refine identifying the at least one knowledge domain until only one response is retrieved. The method further includes presenting the one response to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2020Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: Nicolo' Sgobba, Erik Rueger, Guillermo Rodriguez de Vera Beltri

Patent number: 5546508Abstract: A robot manipulator controller for a flexible manipulator arm having plural bodies connected at respective movable hinges and flexible in plural deformation modes corresponding to respective modal spatial influence vectors relating deformations of plural spaced nodes of respective bodies to the plural deformation modes, operates by computing articulated body quantities for each of the bodies from respective modal spatial influence vectors, obtaining specified body forces for each of the bodies, and computing modal deformation accelerations of the nodes and hinge accelerations of the hinges from the specified body forces, from the articulated body quantities and from the modal spatial influence vectors. In one embodiment of the invention, the controller further operates by comparing the accelerations thus computed to desired manipulator motion to determine a motion discrepancy, and correcting the specified body forces so as to reduce the motion discrepancy.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1992Date of Patent: August 13, 1996Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: Abhinandan Jain, Guillermo Rodriguez

Patent number: 5519814Abstract: This invention is a robot control system based on a high level language implementing a spatial operator algebra. There are two high level languages included within the system. At the highest level, applications programs can be written in a robot-oriented applications language including broad operators such as MOVE and GRASP. The robot-oriented applications language statements are translated into statements in the spatial operator algebra language. Programming can also take place using the spatial operator algebra language. The statements in the spatial operator algebra language from either source are then translated into machine language statements for execution by a digital control computer. The system also includes the capability of executing the control code sequences in a simulation mode before actual execution to assure proper action at execution time. The robot's environment is checked as part of the process and dynamic reconfiguration is also possible.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 1993Date of Patent: May 21, 1996Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: Guillermo Rodriguez, Kenneth K.
