  • Patent number: 11748942
    Abstract: A system for automatically generating trajectories of an object includes a trajectory generation module comprising a visual control algorithm and a processor configured via computer executable instructions to receive raw three dimensional (3-D) sensor data of an object, create a 3-D model of the object based on the raw 3-D sensor data, extract object features relating to a shape and/or surface from the 3-D model of the object, and generate trajectories based on the object features of the 3-D model of the object.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Chuong Luong, Martin Fankhauser, Christopher Whiteside, Marcus Clarke, Walter Meyler
  • Patent number: 11609830
    Abstract: An improved method for investigating a functional behavior of a component of a technical installation includes comparing a signal of the component to be investigated and representing the functional behavior of the component with a reference signal which describes an average functional behavior of identical components. During the comparison, a comparison variable describing the deviation of the signal from the reference signal is determined. In addition, a probability of the occurrence of the comparison variable is determined by using a predefinable distribution of a multiplicity of such comparative variables. A computer program and a computer readable storage medium are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20190210622
    Abstract: A system, a prediction unit, and a method for predicting a failure of at least one unit for monitoring and/or controlling transportation traffic. The system includes a communication network having at least one network access point, a functional unit dedicated to the at least one unit for monitoring and/or controlling transportation traffic, wherein the decentralized functional unit is connected to the at least one network access point, and a prediction unit configured to predict the failure based on data sent from the functional unit and/or received by the functional unit over the communication network.
