  • Patent number: 12172537
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method when executed by data processing hardware of a legged robot causes the data processing hardware to perform operations including receiving sensor data corresponding to an area including at least a portion of a docking station. The operations include determining an estimated pose for the docking station based on an initial pose of the legged robot relative to the docking station. The operations include identifying one or more docking station features from the received sensor data. The operations include matching the one or more identified docking station features to one or more known docking station features. The operations include adjusting the estimated pose for the docking station to a corrected pose for the docking station based on an orientation of the one or more identified docking station features that match the one or more known docking station features.

  • Publication number: 20240407154
    Abstract: A variety of applications can include an apparatus having a memory device including digit lines isolated from each other by filling an area directly under the digit line with a dielectric material. The dielectric material can be any insulating material such as oxides or nitrides. The provision of the area directly under each digit line can be accomplished without etching out an entire layer of epitaxially grown regions for the memory cells vertically stacked in a three-dimensional array. In a three-dimensional DRAM, metal plates for capacitors can be isolated in a manner similar to the isolation of digit lines. Such processing can be scalable, which may allow for a three-dimensional DRAM to have hundreds memory cell tiers.

  • Patent number: 12158755
    Abstract: An authorization system includes a controller of an external computing device communicatively connected to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The controller obtains a mission kit that includes software for controlling a piece of equipment configured to be assembled on the UAV. The controller receives a license that is associated with a user and determines, based on the license, whether the piece of equipment is authorized for operation on the UAV as controlled by the user. Responsive to determining that the piece of equipment is authorized, the controller initiates transmission of at least some of the software of the mission kit to the UAV for installation by the UAV to allow the user to operate the piece of equipment.

  • Publication number: 20240316762
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for reacting to a feature in an environment of a robot based on a classification of the feature. A system can detect the feature in the environment using a first sensor on the robot. For example, the system can detect the feature using a feature detection system based on sensor data from a camera. The system can detect a mover in the environment using a second sensor on the robot. For example, the system can detect the mover using a mover detection system based on sensor data from a lidar sensor. The system can fuse the data from detecting the feature and detecting the mover to produce fused data. The system can classify the feature based on the fused data and react to the feature based on classifying the feature.

  • Publication number: 20240231555
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing collaboration on a virtual work of art between multiple electronic devices are provided. A first graphical display system of a first device may generate an input command in response to receiving user information through a user interface of the first device, and may then share this input command with a second graphical display system of a second device. The first graphical display system may process the shared input command to generate pixel array data in a canvas of the first device while the second graphical display system may process the shared input command to generate pixel array data in a canvas of the second device. By sharing input commands rather than pixel array data, system latency may be reduced. Despite operating on the same artwork, the user interfaces and graphical processing capabilities of each device may vary, thereby providing the user greater expressiveness.

  • Publication number: 20240192695
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for the display of a transformed virtual representation of sensor data overlaid on a site model. A system can obtain a site model identifying a site. For example, the site model can include a map, a blueprint, or a graph. The system can obtain sensor data from a sensor of a robot. The sensor data can include route data identifying route waypoints and/or route edges associated with the robot. The system can receive input identifying an association between a virtual representation of the sensor data and the site model. Based on the association, the system can transform the virtual representation of the sensor data and instruct display of the transformed data overlaid on the site model.
