  • Patent number: 11082667
    Abstract: A mobile robot is configured for operation in a commercial or industrial setting, such as an office building or retail store. The robot can patrol one or more routes within a building, and can detect violations of security policies by objects, building infrastructure and security systems, or individuals. In response to the detected violations, the robot can perform one or more security operations. The robot can include a removable fabric panel, enabling sensors within the robot body to capture signals that propagate through the fabric. In addition, the robot can scan RFID tags of objects within an area, for instance coupled to store inventory. Likewise, the robot can generate or update one or more semantic maps for use by the robot in navigating an area and for measuring compliance with security policies.

  • Patent number: 10913160
    Abstract: A mobile robot is configured for operation in a commercial or industrial setting, such as an office building or retail store. The mobile robot can have a motorized base and a robot body on the motorized base, the robot body including a rotatable ring that rotates horizontally around the robot body. A mechanical arm that can contract and extend relative to the robot body is coupled to the rotatable ring and performs a plurality of actions. A controller of the mobile robot provides instructions to the rotatable ring and the mechanical arm and can cause the mechanical arm to open a door, take an elevator to move to a different floor, and test whether a door is locked properly.

  • Patent number: 10835126
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to real-time in vivo spectrophotometric analysis of skin tissue. In some implementations, the spectrophotometry is implemented using a wireless microchip with at least one sensor implanted beneath the skin of an individual. The absorption of light at different wavelengths by the skin tissue is correlated to various skin states, revealing transient conditions or pathologies in real time. An external interrogation device is positioned on or adjacent to the surface of the skin and includes one or more energy sources for emitting light of different wavelengths. The external device may provide signals for wirelessly powering the implanted microchip, as well as have communication capabilities for receiving wireless transmissions from the implanted microchip. The sensors on the implantable microchip can be used to measure light intensity attenuated by the skin tissue between the light sources and the sensors.
