A robotic system for operating a machine includes an arm, an actuator coupled to the arm and configured to indicate a change in an interactive medium of the machine when the actuator physically interfaces with the interactive medium, a visual source configured to provide an image of the machine in a field of view; and a processor coupled to the arm and the visual source. Images obtained from the field of view can be used to extract information about the machine and that information can be used to operate the arm to actuate the interactive medium of machine and perform the physical task using the machine.

Systems and methods presented herein utilize one or more robotic arms and a data analytics server in conjunction with existing control systems. The data analytics server is configured to receive operational data relating to operation of industrial equipment being controlled by a control system. The data analytics server is also configured to perform data analytics on the operational data. The data analytics server is further configured to determine one or more control signals configured to cause the one or more robotic arms to automatically manipulate one or more control elements of a control panel of the control system. In addition, the data analytics server is configured to automatically transmit the one or more control signals to the one or more robotic arms to cause the one or more robotic arms to automatically manipulate the one or more control elements of the control panel of the control system.

A robot system that simplifies a configuration and control sequence of a feed table device. The robot system includes a robot, a first table and a second table, a first feed device that feeds the first table, a second feed device that feeds the second table, an interlocking member that works the first feed device and the second feed device in synchronization with each other, and a control device that controls a first operation of the robot for a process and also controls a second operation, which is different from the first operation, of the robot for manipulating the interlocking member. The robot manipulates the interlocking member by the second operation, and thus respectively disposes the first table and the second table in a position corresponding to the process.

A control system includes a task manager that can determine capability requirements to perform a task on the target object. The task has an associated series of sub-tasks, with the sub-tasks having one or more capability requirements. The task manager selects and assigns a first sequence of sub-tasks to a first robotic machine that has a first set of capabilities and operates according to a first mode of operation. The task manager selects and assigns a second sequence of sub-tasks to a second robotic machine that has a second set of capabilities and operates according to a second mode of operation. The task manager selects the first robotic machine based on the first set of capabilities and the first mode of operation of the first robotic machine, and selects the second robotic machine based on the second set of capabilities and the second mode of operation.

Techniques for systems and methods that provide for utilizing a robotic system to type commands that correspond to voice commands using a keyboard of a device are described herein. In embodiments, an image of a device may be received from a camera. A keyboard region of the device may be determined based on a keyboard detection algorithm that uses the image. One or more characters in a portion of the image that corresponds to the keyboard region of the device may be detected based on a character detection algorithm. The one or more characters may be grouped into one or more groups based on the portion of the image. A character of a portion of character associated with a group may be edited based on an error detection algorithm.
