Abstract: The cause tracking system according to the present disclosure includes: an event detecting unit that detects a new event occurring in a management target area; a recording unit that records an event detected in the past by the event detecting unit; a calculating unit that calculates a degree of association between the new event and a past event recorded in the recording unit; a recording control unit that causes the recording unit to record the new event as a past event in association with information on a past event in which the degree of association with the new event is equal to or greater than a threshold among past events recorded in the recording unit; and an output unit that reads out, from the recording unit, the designated event among the past events recorded in the recording unit and the other past events related to the designated event.

Abstract: An area management system includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a mobile history of at least one mobile object that moves in a management target area, a statistical processing unit configured to generate a distribution of existence probability of the at least one mobile object in a management target area by performing statistical processing on information on a mobile history of the at least one mobile object, and an area definition unit configured to define a predetermined area included in the management target area together with an area attribute of the predetermined area, based on the distribution of existence probability of the at least one mobile object in the management target area.

Abstract: An autonomous mobile robot control system includes: a host management device; and an autonomous mobile robot. The host management device includes a data collection unit that collects sunshine condition data corresponding to a sunshine condition within a movement range of the autonomous mobile robot, and a parameter calculation unit that calculates, based on the sunshine condition data, an optimum parameter that reduces an influence of the sunshine condition corresponding to the sunshine condition data. The autonomous mobile robot includes a parameter setting unit that sets the optimum parameter. The autonomous mobile robot control system executes a predetermined operation based on the optimum parameter set by the parameter setting unit.

Abstract: A work assignment status monitoring system includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information about one or more work areas, a monitoring target detection unit configured to detect a monitoring target and define a first monitoring target area where the monitoring target is positioned, a first determination unit configured to determine whether or not the monitoring target has performed a work assignment in the one or more work areas based on a presence or absence of interference with the one or more work areas by the first monitoring target area, an information generation unit configured to generate information about the work assignment in the one or more work areas performed by the monitoring target based on a result of the determination made by the first determination unit, and an output unit configured to output information about the work assignment performed by the monitoring target.

Abstract: A medical data communication apparatus includes a data acquisition unit configured to acquire medical data of a subject output from a medical device from the medical device, the medical device being connected for communication with the medical data communication apparatus without an external network intervening therebetween; a modification unit configured to modify the medical data based on a modification instruction received from a server, the server being connected for communication with the medical data communication apparatus through an external network, the modification instruction being for modifying specific information in the medical data; and an output unit configured to output the medical data modified by the modification unit to the external network based on a request from the server.

Abstract: The communication control unit of the external communication apparatus requests a communication connection to the server. When a communication connection with the server is established, the communication control unit acquires the server side definition file from the server. The updating unit of the external communication apparatus updates the client side definition file with the server side definition file acquired by the communication control unit. The communication control unit of the external communication apparatus is configured to upload the medical apparatus side data to the server based on the client side definition file. Further, the communication control unit of the external communication apparatus is configured to reject a connection request from the server.

Abstract: Methods for recognizing a category of an object are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by a processor, a preliminary category of a target object, the preliminary category having a confidence score associated therewith, and comparing the confidence score to a learning threshold. If the highest confidence score is less than the learning threshold, the method further includes estimating properties of the target object and generating a property score for one or more estimated properties, and searching a supplemental image collection for supplemental image data using the preliminary category and the one or more estimated properties. Robots programmed to recognize a category of an object by use of supplemental image data are also disclosed.
