  • Publication number: 20230144646
    Abstract: Computing platforms, methods, and storage media are disclosed for managing remote oversight of a plurality of robots. A controller may be in communication with a plurality of robots. The controller may be configured to: obtain a dynamic risk score for each of the plurality of robots, the dynamic risk score associated with operational risk of proper robot operation; assign, based on the dynamic risk score for each of the plurality of robots, a set of robots to an operator for remote oversight; and provide, to a display associated with the operator, a set of visual representations associated with the set of robots assigned to the operator for remote oversight. The controller may dynamically determine and assign the dynamic risk score based on one or more risk factors. The controller may dynamically generate a visual interface for managing remote oversight of the plurality of robots.

  • Publication number: 20230135039
    Abstract: Computing platforms, methods, and storage media for sensing and controlling with respect to a robot. A robot control and sensor system may include a pressure sensor configured to be mounted on a robot, and/or mounted on a robot peripheral, to measure a sensed pressure value at the robot. The pressure sensor operates with respect to first and second pressure thresholds. A controller is in communication with the pressure sensor and may be configured to: obtain, from the pressure sensor, a sensed pressure value relating to pressure applied to the robot at the pressure sensor; generate a soft reset notification to cause the robot to enter a soft reset mode when the sensed pressure value is above the first pressure threshold; and generate a hard reset notification to cause the robot to enter a hard reset mode when the sensed pressure value is above the second pressure threshold.

  • Publication number: 20150066557
    Abstract: A system and method for tracking mobile resources that displays tracking data in a graphical display. The system receives tracking data and characteristic tag data about a mobile resource from a tracking device, which is stored in a server or sent directly to a reporting device. The reporting device creates a graphical display indicating, e.g., how long a resource has been at various locations and displays this information on a display device.

  • Publication number: 20140274152
    Abstract: A system and method for tracking items or people that displays the tracking data in a graphical display. The system receives location tracking data from a tracking unit which is stored in a server or set directly to a reporting unit. The reporting unit creates a graphical display indicating how long a user has been at various locations through changes in the location identification icon such as increasing the size of a circle depending on how much time is spent at the location. The system also can use multiple different tracking technologies to create a single monitoring session to be displayed to a user while tracking an object or person or combinations tracking units.
