Devices, systems, and methods for determining a custom ergonomic configuration of an adjustable seating device based on interpretation and analysis of a sequence of biometric measurements of a human subject. An adjustable seating device transitions one or more adjustable surfaces between a sequence of configurations while a human subject is seated in the adjustable seating device and being biometrically measured. A custom configuration is stored in memory, where the custom configuration is a configuration where the biometric measurements of the human subject correspond to a muscle-relaxed state.

A resistive motion support mechanism joined to a mounting surface and to a base shaft for providing resistive support to the mounting surface as the mounting surface undergoes one or both of rotational and tilt movement relative to the base, the motion support mechanism including a support bearing connected to the mounting surface and to the base shaft which permits one or both of tilting and rotational motion of the mounting surface relative to the base; a pivot ball functionally attached to a portion of the base shaft; a resilient ring within a housing circumscribing the base shaft such that the resilient member is compressed between the housing and the base shaft by the relative movement between the base shaft and the mounting surface to provide a resistive force on the base shaft to resist the one or both of rotational and tilt movement; and, various means for varying the resistive force.

An intelligent cooking operation method includes: providing a seat; forming, by a back of the seat, a swing connection by using a connecting rod; forming a lifting and rotating connection between a cushion of the seat and a base of the seat through a support rod; and sending, by a cook, one or more voice control commands of a kitchen appliance to a voice signal receiving module according to a cooking requirement, where a voice command recognition module recognizes the voice control commands and generates corresponding appliance voice command data, and a command transmission module sends a command signal to a command receiving module of the kitchen appliance that the voice control commands point to, to control the kitchen appliance.

A seating furniture chassis comprises a base body, first and second side parts, a back part, a plurality of electrically conductive cables fastened to the base body, and first and second fasteners arranged on the base body. The back part is releasably fastenable to the first fastener and the first and second side parts are respectively releasably fastenable at two opposite sides of the base body to the second fastener, a plurality of individual connectors, and a central connector. Each electrically conductive cable connects one of the individual connectors to the central connector.

Surgical robotic systems including a user console for controlling a robotic arm or a surgical robotic tool are described. The user console includes components designed to automatically adapt to anthropometric characteristics of a user. A processor of the surgical robotic system is configured to receive anthropometric inputs corresponding to the anthropometric characteristics and to generate an initial console configuration of the user console based on the inputs using a machine learning model. Actuators automatically adjust a seat, a display, or one or more pedals of the user console to the initial console configuration. The initial console configuration establishes a comfortable relative position between the user and the console components. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A furniture system includes an office productivity structure (OPS). The furniture system also includes a sensor coupled to the OPS, the sensor operable to detect occupancy of the OPS and generate an output signal indicative of the occupancy; and a processor coupled to the sensor. The processor is operable to receive the output signal generated by the sensor, determine, based on the output signal, that the OPS is occupied, and, in response to determining that the OPS is occupied, generate a command to initiate at least one action associated with the OPS or an operator of the OPS.
