Abstract: An over actuated system capable of controlling wheel parameters, such as speed (e.g., by torque and braking), steering angles, caster angles, camber angles, and toe angles, of wheels in an associated vehicle. The system may determine the associated vehicle is in a rollover state and adjust wheel parameters to prevent vehicle rollover. Additionally, the system may determine a driving state and dynamically adjust wheel parameters to optimize driving, including, for example, cornering and parking. Such a system may also dynamically detect wheel misalignment and provide alignment and/or corrective driving solutions. Further, by utilizing degenerate solutions for driving, the system may also estimate tire-surface parameterization data for various road surfaces and make such estimates available for other vehicles via a network.

Abstract: A controller may control input to, output from, and execution of a component of a data-processing pipeline via an interface. The interface facilitates replacing the component with a different and/or updated component and/or changing a type of controller that controls the component via the interface. For example, the different types of controllers may facilitate communication between components controlled by other controllers (and/or that aren't controlled by a controller), controllers that generate reproducibility data so that component behavior may be reproduced, controllers that reproduce component behavior, and/or controllers that tune performance of the data-processing pipeline, e.g., by varying input, output, and execution of respective component(s).

Abstract: Semiconductor processing tools with hexapod-based pedestal systems are disclosed and described. Such hexapod pedestal systems may incorporate a hexapod mechanism with a stationary mount that is connected via six linear actuators with a movable mount. The movable mount may support a pedestal located within a semiconductor processing chamber. The hexapod mechanism may be controlled so as to allow the pedestal to shift laterally so as to center the pedestal on a wafer supported by a wafer handling robot, as well as to angularly align a wafer supported thereby with the underside of a showerhead and to allow a wafer supported thereby to be subjected to any of a variety of movements during wafer processing operations that may promote increased wafer uniformity.

Abstract: In various embodiments, an automated platform may autonomously move around a site, loading dock, dock leveler, and/or trailer to transport goods. In one or more embodiments, the automated platform may be loaded with goods and, once loaded, navigate a path from a loading area onto a trailer autonomously. In some embodiments, once the automated platform is loaded onto the trailer, the automated platform may utilize hydraulics to extend legs to the ground with enough force so that the automated platform wheels are not touching the ground in the trailer, which stabilizes the automated platform while it is being hauled to a different site. In at least one embodiment, once the trailer is at the different site, the automated platform may autonomously unload itself out of the trailer and navigate over a dock leveler, through the loading dock, and to an unloading area.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying and triaging issues associated with a vehicle in order to resolve the issues are described. The techniques may include receiving log data associated with a vehicle and generating an event timeline based at least in part on the log data. The event timeline may comprise a time-ordered record of events associated with operations of the vehicle. The techniques may also include identifying, based at least in part on an event included in the event timeline, a first occurrence of an issue associated with the vehicle. In some instances, a correlation may be determined between the first occurrence of the issue and a second occurrence of the issue, and a cause of the issue may also be determined based at least in part on the correlation. In some examples, the second occurrence of the issue may appear in the event timeline or another event timeline.
