    Abstract: Automated workpiece transfer systems and methods of implementing thereof are disclosed. The system can include an imaging device operable to capture an initial image of workpieces loaded onto a loading area; an autonomous pick-and-place robot, and a processor in communication with the imaging device and the pick-and-place robot. The autonomous pick-and-place robot can include an end-of-arm-tooling component operable to retrieve pickable workpieces from the loading area and transfer the pickable workpieces to a receiving area according to a set of operating parameters. The processor can be operable to apply a machine-learning model to the initial image to identify pickable workpieces; identify a region of interest within the initial image; and based on the initial image, define the set of operating parameters for operating the end-of-arm-tooling component to retrieve the one or more pickable workpieces.

  • Patent number: 11937905
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for leveraging data from multiple data sources are described. A method includes receiving physiological data associated with a user from a wearable device and receiving additional data from an external device different from the wearable device, the additional data including at least data associated with characteristics of an environment associated with the user. The method further includes identifying one or more relationships between the collected physiological data and the characteristics of the environment associated with the user, and causing a graphical user interface (GUI) of a user device to display an indication of the one or more relationships, a message associated with the one or more relationships, or both. In some cases, the method includes causing the GUI to display instructions for selectively adjusting the one or more characteristics of the environment associated with the user based on the one or more relationships.
