Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for modifying scheduled events based on bandwidth availability. To modify the scheduled event, the system determines a plurality of user devices corresponding to an event. The system receives first network conditions for a first user device and generates a feature input based on the first network conditions. The system inputs the feature input into an artificial intelligence model to determine a first available bandwidth metric and aggregates the first available bandwidth metric with respective available bandwidth metrics for other user devices of the plurality of user devices to determine a composite available bandwidth metric. The system can compare the composite available bandwidth metric to a threshold available bandwidth metric and in response to determining that the composite available bandwidth metric equals or exceeds the threshold available bandwidth metric, the system generates for display, on a user device interface, a recommendation for modifying the event.

Abstract: In some examples, a robotic welding system includes an improved touch sensing process that identifies an intermediate position to which to move a welding-type tool and/or electrode between certain touches of the touch sensing process. Use of an intermediate position between certain touches may reduce the potential for accidental and/or unintentional contact with the part, which may be detrimental to a robotic welding process. The improved touch sense process may additionally automatically move the welding-type tool and/or welding electrode to the intermediate position between certain touches. Automatic movement to the intermediate position (e.g., rather than manual operator induced movement) may save the operator time and/or guard against human error and/or forgetfulness.

Abstract: The present inventions is directed to systems and methods for automated stress testing of data models and comprises steps of generating, from an initial training dataset used for training a data model, a first data profile comprising a descriptive summary of the initial training dataset, generating a stress profile from an analysis of the data model and the initial training dataset used for training the data model, and modifying the first data profile by the stress profile to generate an altered data profile. A synthetic dataset may then be generated from the altered data profile. A stress performance output of the data model may then be used to identify weak points in the performance of the data model and improve the model's stress performance response using synthetic data.
