SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTI-SECTIONAL SHOW ROBOT

A robotic system includes a multi-sectional show robot. The multi-sectional show robot includes a primary robot with a controller and one or more sensors. The one or more sensors are configured to acquire feedback indicative of an environment surrounding the primary robot. The multi-sectional show robot also includes a secondary robot configured to removably couple to the primary robot to transition the multi-sectional show robot between a disengaged configuration, in which the primary robot is decoupled from the secondary robot, and an engaged configuration, in which the primary robot is coupled to the secondary robot. The controller is configured to operate the primary robot based on the feedback and a first control scheme with the multi-sectional show robot in the disengaged configuration and to operate the primary robot based on a second control scheme with the multi-sectional show robot in the engaged configuration.

GRASPING OF AN OBJECT BY A ROBOT BASED ON GRASP STRATEGY DETERMINED USING MACHINE LEARNING MODEL(S)
20210347040 · 2021-11-11 ·

Grasping of an object, by an end effector of a robot, based on a grasp strategy that is selected using one or more machine learning models. The grasp strategy utilized for a given grasp is one of a plurality of candidate grasp strategies. Each candidate grasp strategy defines a different group of one or more values that influence performance of a grasp attempt in a manner that is unique relative to the other grasp strategies. For example, value(s) of a grasp strategy can define a grasp direction for grasping the object (e.g., “top”, “side”), a grasp type for grasping the object (e.g., “pinch”, “power”), grasp force applied in grasping the object, pre-grasp manipulations to be performed on the object, and/or post-grasp manipulations to be performed on the object.

A cleaning robot may include a chassis, a camera, a control unit, a mobility apparatus, and a movable lighting element. The control unit may execute computer programming instructions in a manner depending on information received from the camera. The mobility apparatus may be capable of causing the cleaning robot to move through a physical space. The movable lighting element may include one or more light sources selectively emitting ultraviolet light

CONTROL METHOD OF ROBOT AND ROBOT

A control method of a robot includes: causing a first robot arm provided in the robot and a second robot arm provided in the robot to move a first end effector of the first robot arm and a second end effector of the second robot arm such that the first end effector and the second end effector are arranged on both sides of a placed plate-shaped object; causing the first robot arm to move the first end effector toward a first end portion of the plate-shaped object, and causing the first end effector to grip the first end portion; and causing the first robot arm to move the first end effector toward a destination position, and causing the first end effector to place the plate-shaped object at the destination position.

A robotic mount is configured to move an entertainment element such as a sound-generating speaker. The robotic mount is moveable in multiple degrees of freedom, whereby the associated entertainment element is moveable in three-dimensional space. In one embodiment, a system of entertainment elements are made to move and operate synchronously with each other, such via multiple robotic mounts.

MOBILE ROBOT FOR ELEVATOR INTERACTIONS

A mobile robot is configured to operate in commercial or industrial settings, such as office buildings or retail stores. The mobile robot can have a motorized base, a robot body on the motorized base, and a mechanical arm coupled to the robot body. The mobile robot can move between floors of a building using an elevator. The mobile robot can interact with an elevator system to call an elevator to a current floor, for instance, using the mechanical arm. When a first elevator arrives to the current floor, the mobile robot identifies that doors of the first elevator are opening and interacts with the elevator system again to cause the first elevator to remain at the current floor. After the interaction, the mobile robot moves toward a target location within the first elevator.

NATURAL LANGUAGE CONTROL OF A ROBOT

Implementations process, using a large language model, a free-form natural language (NL) instruction to generate to generate LLM output. Those implementations generate, based on the LLM output and a NL skill description of a robotic skill, a task-grounding measure that reflects a probability of the skill description in the probability distribution of the LLM output. Those implementations further generate, based on the robotic skill and current environmental state data, a world-grounding measure that reflects a probability of the robotic skill being successful based on the current environmental state data. Those implementations further determine, based on both the task-grounding measure and the world-grounding measure, whether to implement the robotic skill.

Systems and methods for optical performance captured animated figure with real-time reactive projected media

A reactive media system includes a motion control system having an animated figure with a body and actuators configured to adjust a figure portion of the body in response to interactive data received from one or more interactive data sources. The reactive media system includes a media control system having a tracking camera configured to generate signals indicative of a current position and orientation of the figure portion based on a set of trackers coupled to the figure portion. The media control system includes a media controller configured to receive the signals, determine the current position and orientation based on the signals, and generate data indicative of images to be projected onto an external surface of the figure portion having the current position and orientation.
