  • Publication number: 20250137790
    Abstract: A V2X computing system to manage air quality by reducing carbon emissions by changing a vehicle mode of operation from fuel to battery. The system identifies the position of the vehicle and changes the mode of the vehicle to a target battery-based vehicle. The system calculates how much aggregated emission can be allowed within a defined time range around a geo-fencing area to identify appropriate distribution of battery-operated vehicle and fossil fuel-based vehicle to ensure the required air-quality. The system leverages historical data around environmental parameters like wind direction, speed, etc. for a period to calculate the emission requirements vs. predicted emission. The system uses this data to dynamically switch vehicle from using fuel power to battery power based on the capability available within the vehicle for environmental sustainability. The system further spaces vehicles appropriately to ensure the air quality is maintained on the road in a geo-fenced area.

  • Publication number: 20250117945
    Abstract: Cropping volumetric media is provided. Received volumetric video data is represented by a Bloch sphere. A user selected sub-volume is received to which the volumetric video data is to be cropped. CNNs having different strides are applied to sub-spheres defined within the Bloch sphere. The CNNs generate a correlation score for each sub-sphere relative to a user specified parameter. Best rotation matrices for the sub-spheres are determined to achieve a user specified angle of view, and the sub-sphere correlation scores are optimized according to the best rotation matrices. Cylindrical weights are applied to the sub-spheres according to the optimized correlation scores, and a best solution is selected for the sub-volume according to the correlation scores. The rotation matrices are reflected orthogonally onto the sub-volume, and the sub-volume is cropped from the volumetric video according to the sub-sphere with the highest correlation score to create the cropped image.

  • Publication number: 20250073923
    Abstract: Described are techniques for appropriately gripping objects by robots. A target object (e.g., circuit board) is identified to be gripped by a robotic arm of a robot, such as a robot in an industrial facility. Upon identifying the target object to be gripped by the robotic arm, the attributes of the target object are determined. One or more pores of the robotic arm may then be selected to be enabled to secrete an adhesive based on the attributes of the target object. Furthermore, the adhesion level corresponding to the amount of the adhesive to be secreted by the selected pores of the robotic arm is determined based on the attributes of the target object. The selected one or more pores of the robotic arm are then activated to secrete the adhesive according to the adhesion level in order to appropriately grip the target object by the robotic arm.
