Abstract: A method for motion tracking is provided including receive first data, receive second data, transform the second data to generate transformed second data corresponding to the first frame; determine a first weighting factor for the first data and a second weighting factor for the transformed second data; weight the first data using the first weighting factor to generate first weighted data; weight the transformed second data using the second weighting factor to generate second weighted data; and combine the weighted first data and the weighted second data to generate combined image data. The first data include a first frame of a first scene of an environment detected by a camera or image sensor. The second data include a second frame of a second scene of an environment detected by a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor. At least a subset of the second scene corresponds to the first scene.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to facilitate multi-agent path planning and to enable navigation for robotics systems. The path planning may include a Probabilistic Road Map (PRM), Deterministic Road Map (DRM) or any other kind of road maps with an adaptive sampling technique having a rapid two-way search to compute a global path. With the road map and Two-way search strategy, a parallel or simultaneous check for feasibility at each iteration may be performed. The road map can be saved for future inquiries.

Abstract: A device is provided including (a) a base, (b) a first interface component coupled to the base, wherein the first interface component is cylindrical, (c) a rotatable component including a second interface component positioned on a first side of the rotatable component, wherein the first interface component and the second interface component are removeably coupled to one another based on a magnetic field, and wherein the second interface component includes a concave surface approximately corresponding to the cylindrical shape of the first interface component such that the first interface component fits at least partially within the second interface component when the first interface component is coupled to the second interface component, and (d) an attachment component coupled to a second side of the rotatable component, wherein the attachment component is configured to be removeably coupled to a hand and/or finger of a user.
