Abstract: An improved method, system, and apparatus is provided to implement a general architecture for robot systems. A mode execution module is provided to universally execute execution modes on different robotic system. A system includes an execution module that receives software instructions in a normalized programming language. The system also includes an interface having a translation layer that converts the software instructions from the normalized language into robot-specific instructions that operate in a particular robotic system. The system further includes a controller that is communicatively coupled to the interface, wherein the controller receives the robot-specific instructions. Moreover, the system includes a robotic device that is operatively controlled by the controller by execution of the robot-specific instructions.

Abstract: An improved method, system, and apparatus is provided to perform camera calibration, where cameras are mounted onto a moving conveyance apparatus to capture images of a multi-planar calibration target. The calibration process is optimized by reducing the number of images captured while simultaneously preserving overall information density.

Abstract: A three-dimensional spatial-awareness vision system includes video sensor system(s) mounted to a monitoring platform and having a field of view to monitor a scene of interest and provide real-time video data corresponding to real-time video images. A memory stores model data associated with a rendered three-dimensional virtual representation of the monitoring platform. An image processor combines the real-time video data and the model data to generate image data comprising the rendered three-dimensional virtual representation of the monitoring platform and the real-time video images of the scene of interest superimposed at a field of view relative to the rendered three-dimensional virtual representation of the monitoring platform.
