Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the improvement of homology-directed repair of a double strand break in a plant cell, via the use of a polynucleotide comprising sequences homologous to the target site. In some aspects, the double strand break is created by an RNA-guided Cas endonuclease. The homology-directed repair of the double-strand break may include incorporation of a heterologous polynucleotide, for example a gene encoding a trait of agronomic importance. The homology-directed repair of the double-strand break may occur as a result of template-directed repair using a polynucleotide repair template.

Abstract: In an implementation of a method of operation of a robot fleet management system, the robot fleet management system accesses a set of tasks available to be performed by a fleet of robots, accesses a respective power consumption for each task from the set of tasks, and accesses a respective power state of each robot in the fleet. The robot fleet management system allocates a selected robot to a selected task, based at least in part on the power state of at least the selected robot and the power consumption for at least the selected task. The power consumption may be determined by the robot fleet management system and/or be provided by the task provider. The set of tasks includes tethered and untethered tasks.

Abstract: A system for providing discharge monitoring of a firearm includes an event detection module, a signal processing module and a trigger pull sensor assembly. The event detection module has at least one sensor that senses an acceleration and generates an acceleration signal. The signal processing module receives the acceleration signal. The signal processing module is configured to determine whether the acceleration signal is a discharge event and generate an event detection signal based on the determination and is configured to maintain a shot count of the firearm based on the determination that the event detection signal is a discharge event. The trigger pull sensor assembly senses mechanical movement of a trigger of the firearm and communicates a trigger actuation signal to the signal processing module corresponding to a position of the trigger. The event detection signal is further based on the trigger actuation signal.

Abstract: A system for providing discharge monitoring of a firearm includes a first sensor, a trigger pull sensor assembly, an event detection module and a display. The first sensor senses a first acceleration along a first axis and sends a first input signal. The trigger pull sensor assembly senses mechanical movement of a trigger of the firearm, and communicates a second input signal corresponding to a position of the trigger. The event detection module receives the first input signal and compares the first acceleration to an acceleration threshold indicative of a shot; receives the second input signal and determines whether the second input signal is satisfies a second threshold indicative of a shot; determines whether a discharge has occurred based on both the first signal satisfying the acceleration threshold and the second input signal satisfying the second threshold; and generates an event detection signal based on the determination.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for autonomous, multi-agent goal-seeking are described. In an exemplary implementation, a hierarchical operational structure of a business employs autonomous AI-based controllers and robot systems in a bidirectional communication network to leverage fast and complete data sharing across all levels of the business. The comprehensive data collection is used to support the formulation of, and measure progress against, a hierarchical goal structure in which the top-level business controller specifies top-level business objectives and successive lower-level tiers of the business control hierarchy execute tasks and specify successively lower-level objectives for the tiers below. The ground level of the hierarchy comprises autonomous robot workers that autonomously perform ground-level tasks and data collection to support the business, and deliver reports back upstream to inform the higher-level objective setting.

Abstract: Robot control systems, methods, control modules and computer program products that leverage one or more large language model(s) (LLMs) and a repository of omnichannel customer data in order to autonomously interact with a customer are described. A robot identifies a customer and accesses data about the customer from a database of omnichannel customer data. The robot generates a natural language (NL) query that includes customer data expressed in NL, contextual information expressed in NL, and a request for something to say to the customer. The LLM provides something to say for the robot, which the robot converts into audio signals and projects to the customer. The interaction may continue bidirectionally, with the robot transcribing responses from the customer in NL and querying the LLM for return responses.
