Abstract: A system includes a robotic system including a robot disposable at a mobile workstation, where the robot is configured to perform an automated operation on a workpiece. The system includes one or more transfer robots configured to transfer the robotic system to or from the mobile workstation. The system includes a control system configured to command the transfer robot to perform a transfer operation of the robotic system, where the transfer operation includes at least one of disposing the robotic system at the mobile workstation or retrieving the robotic system from the mobile workstation. The control system is configured to control the mobile workstation and the robotic system based on image data from the one or more infrastructure sensors, position data from the one or more on-board position sensors, the automated operation to be performed by the robot, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to using a building security system to provide assistance to a delivery robot. In one example implementation, a communication system provided in the delivery robot communicates with the building security system to obtain information pertaining to a terrain between the autonomous vehicle and a package drop-off spot at the building. The information may be provided in the form of an image captured by a camera located on the premises of the building. In one case, the delivery robot may identify a landmark in the image and use the landmark to navigate to the package drop-off spot. In another case, the delivery robot may use the image to generate a route map for traveling to the drop-off spot. In yet another case, the delivery robot may match and/or compare the image to a reference image or a topographical map to navigate to the package drop-off spot.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling vehicle torque output during cruise control. In one example, a method may include determining future vehicle torque output by minimizing an objective function based on an instantaneous vehicle speed, an average vehicle speed, and a present vehicle torque output. The weights of the objective function may be updated based on the past and the present vehicle operating parameters.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward, a method that includes receiving a travel path for a robot in a facility, selecting one or more target projectors disposed along the travel path, and displaying, by the one or more target projectors, one or more visual markers along the travel path of the robot to communicate an intended movement of the robot. The one or more target projectors are selected from among a plurality of projectors disposed in the facility.

Abstract: A computing system can determine a vehicle action based on inputting vehicle sensor data to a first neural network including a first safety agent that can determine a probability of unsafe vehicle operation. The first neural network can be adapted, at a plurality of times, by a periodically retrained deep reinforcement learning agent that includes a second deep neural network including a second safety agent. A vehicle can be operated based on the vehicle action.

Abstract: An object exterior to a vehicle can be detected, and an augmented image of the detected object can be output to a vehicle display device, wherein at least one of dimensions and a motion of the augmented image is adjusted based on an environmental condition and physical attribute of the detected object including at least one of a speed, an acceleration, a location, and a direction of the detected object.
