  • Publication number: 20250103988
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for evaluating the performance of a process using external process data, for example, from another similar process. In one example, the method may include generating a diagram of a process based on data from the process, where the diagram comprises a sequence of nodes that correspond to a sequence of events and edges between the sequence of nodes which indicate execution times between the events, displaying the diagram via a user interface of a software application, selecting a reference diagram of a reference process that includes a different sequence of nodes corresponding to a different sequence of events, identifying an improvement to the process based on the reference diagram, and modifying the diagram to include a different execution flow included in the reference diagram based on the identified improvement.

  • Patent number: 11554486
    Abstract: A method for computing joint torques applied by actuators to perform a control of a movement of a robot arm having several degrees of freedom is provided. The method includes the act of providing, by a trajectory generator, trajectory vectors specifying a desired trajectory of the robot arm for each degree of freedom. The trajectory vectors are mapped to corresponding latent representation vectors that capture inherent properties of the robot arm using basis functions with trained parameters. The latent representation vectors are multiplied with trained core tensors to compute the joint torques for each degree of freedom.
