Publication number: 20240091953Abstract: A method for controlling a robotic system includes determining a location and/or a pose of a power system component based on data received from one or more sensors, and determining a mapping of a location of a robotic system within a model of an external environment of the robotic system based on the data. The model of the external environment provides locations of objects external to the robotic system. A sequence of movements of components of the robotic system is determined to perform maintenance on the power system component based on the locations of the objects external to the robotic system and/or the location or pose of the power system component. One or more control signals are communicated to remotely control movement of the components of the robotic system based on the sequence or movements of the components to perform maintenance on the power system component.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Romano Patrick, Shiraj Sen, Arpit Jain, Huan Tan, Yonatan Gefen, Shuai Li, Shubao Liu, Pramod Sharma, Balajee Kannan, Viktor Holovashchenko, Douglas Forman, John Michael Lizzi, Charles Burton Theurer, Omar Al Assad, Ghulam Ali Baloch, Frederick Wilson Wheeler, Tai-Peng Tian

Patent number: 11317051Abstract: The present invention relates to a video processing apparatus, method, and system. In particular, in accordance with one embodiment, high-speed video is divided into at least two sub-videos having a frame rate lower than that of the input video, during which metadata for synchronization of the two sub-videos which corresponds to frames of each sub-video is generated, and inserted into the respective sub-videos for video processing in parallel. During the parallel processing of the sub-videos, the system monitors and controls the synchronization of the process and, upon completion of the sub-video processing, use the metadata to re-assemble the sub-videos into one high-speed video stream for output, the output video having the same frame rate as the received input video stream.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2021Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: China Film GDC (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Wei Bian, Man Nang Chong, Ruoqing Fu, Shuai Tan, Pranay Kumar, Bin Xu, Rui Shen, Shuping Li
