Abstract: Systems and methods of automated task planning in a remotely operated device system are provided. The method includes storing a domain model for modeling a domain of the remotely operated device system and a task library including a plurality of subgoals each mapped to a corresponding subtask or set of subtasks that achieves the subgoal, the task library being filterable by subgoal, and receiving, through a human-machine interface, a user input including at least one goal and initial conditions. The method further includes performing, with a task planner module: automatically decomposing the at least one goal into subgoals; querying the task library for matching subtasks using the subgoals; generating a sequence of actions using the initial conditions, the domain model, and the matching subtasks returned by the task library; returning the sequence of actions as a task to the human-machine interface; and displaying the task in the human-machine interface.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for integrating a media device with a network. A media device may be connected to a cradle device to receive updates of digital content. The cradle device may be coupled to a wireless link to receive content data and/or signals.

Abstract: A modular hose coupler for carrying air or other gas is described including in some embodiments a valve (1) designed to reduce air-hammer effects and improve aerodynamic flow. Some embodiments include self-lubrication. Some embodiments include a secure release ring (2) requiring twisting before release, reducing accidental release in debris-laden industrial environments. Other embodiments include sealing structures (01, 02, 03) designed for exclusion of dirt, robust performance and enhanced lifetime.

Abstract: A camera capable of transmitting image data to devices on a network is disclosed.
