Abstract: A method and a system for retrieving disparity information from a stereo image pair including a first and second images obtained by first and second cameras, respectively. The first and second images are provided to a conventional disparity algorithm to an artificial intelligence (AI) driven disparity algorithm. Using the conventional disparity algorithm, the first disparity information is derived from the stereo image pair, and a confidence score function is associated with the derived first disparity information. Using the AI-driven disparity algorithm, second disparity information is derived from at least part of the stereo image pair. The first and second disparity information are fused by giving priority to the first disparity information in regions of the stereo image pair with a high confidence score and giving priority to the second disparity information in regions of the stereo image pair with a low confidence score, thereby obtaining resultant disparity information.

Abstract: An indoor mobile industrial robot system is configured to provide a weight to a detected object within an operating environment, where the weight relates to how static the feature is. The indoor mobile industrial robot system includes a mechanism configured to translate reflected light energy and positional information into a set of data points representing the detected object having at least one of Cartesian and/or polar coordinates, and an intensity. If any discrete data point within the set of data points representing the detected object has an intensity at or above a defined threshold the entire set of data points is converted into a weight and potentially classified representing a static feature, otherwise such set of data points is classified as representing a dynamic feature having a lower weight.

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) information is generated from two or more two-dimensional (2D) images. In the 2D images, one or more objects are identified, and either a corresponding portion of the 3D information representing the same object is identified and/or where the 3D information is corrected correspondingly. The correction may be the leaving out of 3D information representing the object or the correction of the 3D information based on knowledge of a shape of the object.

Abstract: A ratchet wrench apparatus includes a housing body having a lever portion extending outwardly from one side thereof to apply a torque force. A gear assembly received in the housing consists of a universal gear, planetary gears and a sun gear which are rotatably driven in unison in response to a torque force exerted through a ratchet gear adjustably disposed in the handle and housing. An output torque force is transmitted from the gear assembly through a rotor body which is normally held in interlocking relationship with the sun gear in the gear assembly. The apparatus further includes a separate selector bar element which may be manually inserted in the gear assembly to enable the rotor body to rotate independently of the sun gear when a torque force is being exerted through the lever and remaining gears.
