  • Patent number: 11678604
    Abstract: A smart lawnmower and system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the smart lawnmower, in a real world-to-simulated world (“real-to-sim”) training phase, the smart lawnmower constructs a simulated environment corresponding to a mowing-relevant portion of a real-world environment relative to semantic information, which may include received location signalization at an antenna In a simulated world-to-real world (“sim-to-real”) mowing phase, a mowing policy is applied to control the cutting subsystem and the drive subsystem in response to the semantic information, which may include the location signalization. In each of the real-to-sim training phase and the sim-to-real mowing phase, the smart lawnmower may provide a user interface including the simulated environment. Further, in the sim-to-real mowing phase, the smart lawnmower may synchronize the real world and the simulated world.

  • Patent number: 9002845
    Abstract: There is disclosed various embodiments of computer systems and methods for analyzing multi-dimensional trends from two dimensional hierarchical data by comparing and analyzing two hierarchies and their associated attributes. Certain embodiments may comprise: providing a database of previous time slice data, receiving new time slice data, comparing the new time slice data to the database of previous time slice data, generating additional attributes, incorporating the additional attributes and the new time slice data into the database so that analysis may be performed between the two hierarchies.
