  • Publication number: 20200239024
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for routing autonomous vehicles. A system may receive an indication of a roadway element associated with a routing graph for routing autonomous vehicles and may determine an impact score for the roadway element. The impact score may describe an impact of applying a routing graph modification to the routing graph to modify routing to the roadway element. Based at least in part on the impact score, the system may apply the routing graph modification to the routing graph to generate a constrained routing graph and generate a route for a first autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the constrained routing graph. The system may instruct the first autonomous vehicle to begin traversing the route.

  • Patent number: 10699226
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically generating and providing a compliance notification for a document in response to a compliance request received from an electronic device via a network. A governance system is constructed to communicate with a first governing agent device, a first principal device and a second principal device via the Internet. The first governing agent device provides a first document to the governance system, and the governance system compares the first document with stored permissions and at least one permission generated in real-time by a first personal robot representative. The governance system provides a result of the comparison to the first governing agent device.

  • Publication number: 20200027354
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle to reduce wasteful data usage are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can determine that a first autonomous vehicle is in an idle state in which the first autonomous vehicle is online with a service entity and is not performing a vehicle service. The computing system can obtain vehicle parameter(s) associated with the first autonomous vehicle that is in the idle state and environmental parameter(s). The computing system can determine a task for the first autonomous vehicle to perform while the first autonomous vehicle is in the idle state based at least in part on at least one of the vehicle parameter(s) or the environmental parameter(s). The computing system can communicate data indicative of the task for the first autonomous vehicle to perform while the first autonomous vehicle is in the idle state.

  • Patent number: 10227211
    Abstract: A stairway (1) comprising a plurality of steps (2) each defining a top surface or tread (3) is converted into a lift platform by employing a mechanism concealed beneath an envelope defined by the treads of all of the steps to guide each step of the plurality vertically from a stairway configuration in which the steps form a stairway enabling access from a lower (7) level to an upper level (8) to a flat configuration in which the top edge of each step is substantially in a horizontal plane level with one of the lower and upper levels from which a wheelchair user may wish to travel to the other of the lower and upper levels. As a result, a wheelchair user may move horizontally from the said one of the lower and upper levels on to a platform defined by the top edges of the plurality of steps in the flat configuration. The stairway and flat configurations occupy the same footprint.
