Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for visually annotating rendered multi-dimensional representations of robot environments. In various implementations, an entity may be identified that is present with a telepresence robot in an environment. A measure of potential interest of a user in the entity may be calculated based on a record of one or more interactions between the user and one or more computing devices. In some implementations, the one or more interactions may be for purposes other than directly operating the telepresence robot. In various implementations, a multi-dimensional representation of the environment may be rendered as part of a graphical user interface operable by the user to control the telepresence robot. In various implementations, a visual annotation may be selectively rendered within the multi-dimensional representation of the environment in association with the entity based on the measure of potential interest.

Abstract: In some implementations, a system may receive a first set of files output based on a machine learning model that is trained using training data that includes a set of values, for each of multiple observations, that corresponds to a set of features. The system may receive a second set of files that includes information that identifies a set of valid values corresponding to the set of features. The system may generate, based on the first set of files and the second set of files, code for generating the output score from the trained model based on a set of input values that are input to the trained model. The system may deploy the code for execution in a computing environment.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for selective robot deployment. In various implementations, a context of a user may be determined based at least in part on a record of one or more computing interactions associated with the user. In various implementations, a robot-performable task of the user may be identified based at least in part on the context. In various implementations, a measure of potential or actual interest of the user in deploying a robot to perform the robot-performable task may be determined. In various embodiments, the robot may be selectively deployed based on the measure of potential or actual interest.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computer-aided method and system for creating an integrated interactive competencies-based personnel information system for personnel managers to use in recruitment and hiring, professional development and training and employee evaluation. The system generates a toolbox which consists of a job advertisement tool, a screening tool, an interview guide tool, a professional development tool, and an evaluation tool. All of these tools use information on the competencies required by position in a particular business establishment. The system also produces a hiring guide that takes users step-by-step through the recruitment and hiring process, including easy-to-follow directions and sample forms.
