  • Patent number: 11912387
    Abstract: A system receives data from a submersible remote operated vehicle (ROV), the data being about the operation of an arm of the ROV. The system automatically controls, based on the data, movement of the arm in docking the arm to a tool holder. In certain instances, the system implements an image based control. In certain instances, the system implements a force accommodation control. In certain instances, the system implements both.

  • Publication number: 20220114533
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for obtaining solutions to train and driver recovery problems using quantum computation. In one aspect, a method includes receiving data representing a train and driver recovery problem, wherein the train and driver recovery problem comprises a task of recovering from a disruption to a planned train and driver schedule; generating, based on the data representing the train and driver recovery problem, a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) formulation of the train and driver recovery problem, wherein the QUBO formulation excludes variables that relax constraints on driver duties; obtaining data representing a solution to the train and driver recovery problem from a quantum computing resource, wherein the data representing the solution to the train and driver recovery problem comprises an adjusted train and driver schedule; and initiating an action based on the obtained data representing a solution to the train and driver recovery problem.
