Abstract: A method and system of performing interactive object segmentation from streaming surfaces is disclosed. An environment data stream, including correlated image and depth data, is received from a set of sensors collocated with a robot. A virtualized representation of a physical environment is displayed and updated in accordance with the environment data stream in real-time. A marking input is received from a haptic-enabled input device. A position in the virtualized representation of the physical environment is determined in accordance with the marking input and is constrained by a first virtualized surface in the virtualized representation of the physical environment. Object segmentation is performed from the position of the marking input on the correlated image and depth data.

Abstract: A virtual pointer object is displayed within a virtualized environment corresponding to a physical environment currently surrounding a robot. The virtualized environment is generated and updated in accordance with streaming environment data received from sensors collocated with the robot. First user input is detected via a haptic-enabled input device that causes the virtual pointer object to move along a movement path in the virtualized environment, where the movement path is constrained by simulated surfaces in the virtualized environment. Haptic feedback is generated via the haptic-enabled input device in accordance with simulated material and/or structural characteristics of the movement path. The virtualized environment is modified at the locations of marking inputs along the movement path and affects path planning for the robot within the first physical environment.

Abstract: A virtualized environment corresponding to a physical environment currently surrounding a robot is displayed. The virtualized environment is updated in accordance with streaming environment data received from sensors collocated with the robot. A first user input inserting a first virtual object at a first location in the virtualized environment is detected. The virtualized environment is modified in accordance with the insertion of the first virtual object at the first location. The first virtual object at the first location causes the robot to execute a first navigation path in the physical environment. A second user input is detected that moves the first virtual object along a movement path to a second location in the virtualized environment. The movement path is constrained by simulated surfaces in the virtualized environment, and the first virtual object at the second location causes the robot to execute a modified navigation path in the physical environment.

Abstract: The devices, methods, and compositions disclosed herein accomplish robust cell encapsulation in polymer microparticles using a vertically oriented microfluidic device. A hydrophilic polymer precursor solution is flowed into a first inlet channel, which extends inward from an upper surface of the device housing. A hydrophobic fluid is flowed into a second inlet channel, which extends inward from a lower surface of the device housing. The two inlet channels meet at a junction, and an outlet channel extends away from the two inlet channels. When the two inwardly flowing streams meet at the junction, the polymer precursor solution disperses into the hydrophobic fluid. The dispersed precursor droplets are photopolymerized into microparticles as they travel through the outlet channel. The resulting microparticles are highly uniform, and are larger than conventionally formed microparticles. Cells of varying types can be encapsulated with high viability and spatial uniformity.
