Abstract: A method of testing an embedded system of the device using a testing robot, a central control unit and a device under test. The device under test may be in different states, wherein the states are determined using the testing robot with a visual sensor. After the state of the device is determined, the testing robot interacts with the device under test and changes its state to a new state.

Abstract: A robotic system for operating a machine includes an arm, an actuator coupled to the arm and configured to indicate a change in an interactive medium of the machine when the actuator physically interfaces with the interactive medium, a visual source configured to provide an image of the machine in a field of view; and a processor coupled to the arm and the visual source. Images obtained from the field of view can be used to extract information about the machine and that information can be used to operate the arm to actuate the interactive medium of machine and perform the physical task using the machine.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for testing features of an embedded system. The system includes a low-powered computing device communicatively coupled to a control application interface, a sensor interface, and a robotic interface. The low-powered computing device may receive sensor signals generated during a test, provide sensor data corresponding to the sensor signals, receive commands for the test, and provide instructions for movement of a robotic handler corresponding to at least one of the commands for the test. The system also includes a computing device communicatively coupled to the control application interface, an image processing interface, and a database interface. The computing device may receive sensor data, receive image data corresponding to images of the embedded system captured during the test, receive tests capable of being performed, and provide commands for the test.

Abstract: A scanning network includes a central server configured to distribute a scan task. The scan task is associated with a scanning of an identified document. The scanning network further includes a plurality of imaging devices configured to receive and execute a scan task and a storage database configured to receive a document image created from execution of a scan task.

Abstract: A printer management system includes one or more printing devices having a printing area for printing according to a digital file, an access area through which a user may access the printing area, and a locking mechanism configured to lock the access area preventing access to the printing area. A management server is communicatively coupled to the one or more printing devices over a communication network and is configured to receive a print request from one or more user devices or one of the one or more printing devices to print the digital file, transmit the digital file to one of the one or more printing devices, and transmit commands to lock and unlock the locking mechanism of the one or more printing devices. In one embodiment the management system is configured to update a printing status of each of the one or more printing devices.

Abstract: A scan task system includes a plurality of imaging devices, including MFDs, dedicated scanners, or mobile phones with scanning or camera functions. The system notifies a user or a number of users when a particular document needs to be scanned and transmitted to a specific destination. A scan task is sent to available imaging devices, and will appear when the user logs in at any imaging device on the network. When a user executes the scan task at any one of the imaging devices, the scan task is removed from all devices. The scan task can be pre-programmed to appropriately file or send a scanned document when the scan is executed.
