Apparatus and methods for providing a robotic arm cart for transporting, delivering, and securing robotic arms to a surgical table having a tabletop on which a patient can be disposed are described herein. In some embodiments described herein an arm cart can contain multiple robotic arms. A robotic arm can be selected and moved from a storage position within the arm cart to a deployment position in which at least a portion of that robotic arm protrudes from the arm cart. A robotic arm in a deployment position can be coupled to a surgical table and decoupled from the arm cart.

A modular robotic kitchen system is conveniently adaptable to perform a wide range of cooking applications. The modular robotic kitchen system can include a plurality of discrete modular units organized in a small footprint such that multiple types of cooking applications can be performed without a need to replace the modular units. Exemplary modular units include an ingredient module, robotic arm module, assembly and packaging module, and warming module. Optionally a transport unit or sled moves the modules into position. The modular kitchen system includes a central processor operable to carry out different cooking applications upon downloading software corresponding to the specific cooking application and without retooling the existing modules. Related methods are also described.

The present technology relates to an autonomous mobile body, an information processing method, a program, and an information processing device, by which a user experience based on an output sound of the autonomous mobile body can be improved. The autonomous mobile body includes a recognition section that recognizes a paired device that is paired with the autonomous mobile body, and a sound control section that changes a control method for an output sound to be outputted from the autonomous mobile body, on the basis of a recognition result of the paired device, and controls the output sound in accordance with the changed control method. The present technology is applicable to a robot, for example.

A rotor assembly system for a manufacturing cell includes a central robotic system comprising a multi-axial central robot and a conveyor platform and one or more multi-axial auxiliary robotic systems secured at one or more locations within the cell. The conveyor platform is operable to move the central robot within the cell. The central robotic system and the one or more auxiliary robotic systems are configured to perform a plurality of rotor manufacturing processes on at least one rotor component in coordination with one another, and the central robotic system is configured to transfer the at least one rotor component between one or more rotor manufacturing processes of the plurality of rotor manufacturing processes.

5G and especially 6G will enable a multitude of applications for fixed-position and mobile wireless task-devices (“robots”). Most of these applications are based on the assumption that the robots know, or can determine, the locations and wireless identities of other robots in proximity, but this is an unsolved problem. Procedures are provided herein for an arbitrarily large number of fixed-position and mobile robots to autonomously identify each other, determine their locations with speed and precision substantially beyond that provided by navigation satellites, and then to collaborate in performing their tasks, while avoiding interference and collisions. Examples are provided in the fields of automated agriculture, remote oil-spill mitigation, autonomous fire-fighting, hospital management, construction site coordination, manufacturing (including fully autonomous manufacturing), major product warehousing, airport control, and emergency vehicle access.

An apparatus for efficient targeting or removal of weeds or other plants. The apparatus may include a vehicle having a frame, a motor and a plurality of ground engaging members adapted to propel the vehicle over a surface. It may also include a robotic arm comprising a distal portion and a proximal portion coupled to the frame, and an implement, such as a tool or hoe connected to the distal portion of the robotic arm. The implement can be raised and lowered, and also moved relative to the surface by the robotic arm by pivoting or rotating the robotic arm at or near the proximal portion.
