Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for efficiently checking the integrity of a robot system. The integrity-checking system may generate a predefined motion instruction for a robot, where the predefined motion instruction instructs the robot to perform a random movement at a test time. The random movement may be associated with an expected observation at the test time. The integrity-checking system may also determine a systematic failure based on a difference between the expected observation and a current observation of the robot at the test time. The current observation may be determined from received sensor data, and if the integrity-checking system detects a failure, it may stop the robot's motion or other mitigating instructions.

Abstract: Well logs can be automatically correlated using dynamic warping with descriptors. For example, a computing device can receive user input indicating a manual correlation between a first node in a first well-log and a second node in a second well-log. The computing device can use the manual correlation to automatically determine a combination of descriptors usable to correlate the first node to the second node. The computing device can then perform dynamic warping on other well logs using the combination of descriptors determined by using the first well log and the second well log. This may provide more accurate correlations between well logs.

Based on the correction to the particular stratum-surface correlation, the computing device can update some or all of the other stratum-surface correlations.
