Abstract: Methods that generate a proof-of-life indicator used by a metaverse platform to indicate whether an avatar is being controlled by or is representative of a human user or a software-based entity. In these methods, a plurality of data streams are obtained from a plurality of sensors that are configured to monitor activity of a user that is active within the metaverse environment. The plurality of data streams relate to behavioral and biometric characteristics of the user that is interacting within the metaverse environment. The methods involve determining whether the user is a human user or a software-based entity based on aggregating attribute information extracted from the plurality of data streams, generating a proof-of-life indicator that indicates whether the user is the human user or the software-based entity and a confidence level associated with the proof-of-life indicator, and providing the proof-of-life indicator in the metaverse environment.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a code authentication service maintains a mapping of uniform resource locators and key information embedded into codes. The code authentication service receives, from a requesting device, a domain name system resolution request for a particular uniform resource locator. The code authentication service determines, based on the mapping, whether the domain name system resolution request is associated with valid key information for the particular uniform resource locator. The code authentication service provides, to the requesting device, a domain name system resolution response that indicates an address associated with the particular uniform resource locator, when the code authentication service determines that the domain name system resolution request includes valid key information for the particular uniform resource locator.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, a first autonomous mobile robot (AMR) encounters a second AMR, while navigating a location. The first AMR receives, from the second AMR, a task list of the second AMR. The first AMR determines an adjustment to the task list of the second AMR, based in part on a comparison between the task list of the second AMR and a task list maintained by the first AMR. The first AMR sends, to the second AMR, the adjustment to the task list of the second AMR.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, a device obtains container data regarding a plurality of items to be shipped together in a container. The device generates, based on the container data, a damage prediction model that models physical relationships between the plurality of items within the container. The device receives sensor data associated with the container. The device predicts, using the damage prediction model, which of the plurality of items were damaged during transport of the container, based on the sensor data associated with the container.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein provide a search engine that receives a search request from a sensor gateway, and provides search results in return. In various implementations, the search request includes a first set of measurements captured by a first sensor, a first measurement from the first set of measurements is outside a defined range. In various implementations, the search engine determines a first feature vector based on the first set of measurements, and identifies a second feature vector that indicates a second set of measurements within a degree of similarity to the first set of measurements. In some implementations, the second set of measurements are captured by a second sensor. In various implementations, the search engine determines a search result based on the second feature vector, and transmits the search result. In some implementations, the search result indicates one or more instructions executable by the first sensor.
