A continuous bottom/side wire extends upwards at opposite ends of a wire stand in order to form bendable handles. The resilient bendability enables modification of the position of the handles with respect to a top closed loop. The handle has bends that can be moved to encircle a part of another wire. Also part of the device are wire supports that connect the top closed loop to the bottom/side wire. A top pan with a lip and an open side facing towards an open side and lip of the bottom pan may be inserted into a cavity defined by the top loop and bottom/side wire. The two pans lips can be abutted, and they can be held in place against each other by the bends of the bottom/side wire.

This disclosure discloses various technical features for creating robotic humanoid movements, actions, and interactions with tools and the instrumented environment by automatically building movements for the humanoid; actions and behaviors of the humanoid based on a set of computer-encoded robotic movement and action primitives. The primitives are defined by motions/actions of articulated degrees of freedom that range in complexity from simple to complex, and which can be combined in any form in serial/parallel fashion. These motion-primitives are termed to be minimanipulations and each has a clear time-indexed command input-structure and output behavior/performance profile that is intended to achieve a certain function. Minimanipulations comprise a new way of creating a programmable-by-example platform for robots. The minimanipulation electronic libraries provide a large suite of higher-level sensing-and-execution sequences that are common building blocks for complex tasks, such as cooking, taking care of the infirm, or other tasks performed by robots.

Container organizers, kits, and methods for organizing a plurality of storage containers including dishes and lids. A rack includes a base defining a cavity for storing container lids and defining first and second openings providing access to the cavity. The first and second openings are noncoplanar, and the container lids are received by and removed from the cavity through the first and second openings. The rack also includes a cap moveably coupled to the base between a first position in which the cap covers the second opening and a second position in which the cap is separated from the second opening.

A container (1) for storage of solids, discrete elements, granular materials or liquid, comprises a base (2) and a lid (3) and the base (2) are suitable for forming an air tight storage volume (23). The base (2) and lid (3) comprise respective base closing devices (24) and lid closing devices (34) arranged to cooperate to close the container (1) and limit relative movement between the base (2) and the lid (3) by the closing devices (24, 34). The lid (3) has an lid base (33) and an adaptation device (35) arranged between the lid closing devices (34) and the inner part of the lid (33). The adaptation device (35) is placed to push the lid base (33) from the lid closing device (34) toward a bottom (21) of the base (2) for adaptation of the storage volume (23) to the content (4) in the container (1).

A roasting/serving device has a base rack and a removably attachable raised rack. The assembled base and raised racks are held within a single pan or between a lower pan and an oppositely-oriented upper pan. The pan or pans containing the assembled base and raised racks is/are placed within a wire chafing stand with rotatable handles. The handles are rotatable to clamp together rims of the upper pan and lower pan.
