  • Publication number: 20240126120
    Abstract: A display may have a pixel array such as a liquid crystal pixel array. The pixel array may be illuminated with backlight illumination from a direct-lit backlight unit. The backlight unit may include an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on a printed circuit board. The display may have a notch to accommodate an input-output component. Reflective layers may be included in the notch. The backlight may include a color conversion layer with a property that varies as a function of position. The light-emitting diodes may be covered by a slab of encapsulant with recesses in an upper surface.

  • Publication number: 20240083036
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer readable media for determining a position of a tracking device. The tracking device includes a vision sensor and an inertial sensor. A first position of the tracking device in relative to a reference marker is obtained based on an image of the reference marker that is collected by the vison sensor. A second position of the tracking device in relative to the first position is obtained by the inertial sensor after a movement of the tracking device. A position of the tracking device in relative to the reference marker is determined based on the first and second positions.

  • Publication number: 20230047834
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for controlling a robot. Some methods include, in response to determining that an object enters a reachable area of the robot, triggering a first sensor to sense a movement of the object; determining first position information of the object based on data received from the first sensor; determining second position information of the object based on second data received from a second sensor; and generating a first prediction of a target position at which the object is operated by the robot. In this way, the robot can complete an operation for the object on the AGV within a limit operation time during which the AGV passes through the reachable area of the robot. Meanwhile, by collecting the sensing data from different sensor groups, a target position at which the object is handled by the robot may be predicted more accurately.

  • Publication number: 20230045651
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for time calibration. The method can include, in responses to receiving sensing data which indicates a deviation of a tool from an object to be operated by a robot with the tool, triggering the robot to perform a plurality of transformations. Each transformation causing the tool to contact the object at a reference position; determining joint positions of a joint of the robot holding the tool or the object after the plurality of transformations; and determining a position relationship between the tool and the robot at least partially based on the joint positions and the reference position.

  • Publication number: 20230032982
    Abstract: A system and a method for operating a robot. The system includes a first data collector coupled to the robot and configured to determine first position information of the robot based on feedback data received from the robot. The system also includes a second data collector coupled to a sensor and configured to determine second position information of an object to be operated by the robot based on sensing data received from the sensor. The system further comprises a first estimator coupled to the first data collector and the second data collector, and configured to generate a first prediction of a target position at which the object is operated by the robot and a command generator configured to generate a command for operating the robot at least partially based on the first prediction.
