A computer-implemented method executed by data processing hardware of a robot causes the data processing hardware to receive sensor data associated with a door. The data processing hardware determines, using the sensor data, door properties of the door. The door properties can include a door width, a grasp search ray, a grasp type, a swing direction, or a door handedness. The data processing hardware generates a door movement operation based on the door properties. The data processing hardware can execute the door movement operation to move the door. The door movement operation can include pushing the door, pulling the door, hooking a frame of the door, or blocking the door. The data processing hardware can utilize the door movement operation to enable a robot to traverse a door without human intervention.

A method of controlling building systems including detecting a status parameter of a door of a building; displaying the status parameter of the door on a device; detecting a status parameter of a door lock, the door lock being operbly connected to the door; and displaying the status parameter of the door and the status parameter of the door lock on a device.

A method for generating an individual model may be for use in a test procedure for a rail vehicle entry system, the model having a nominal curve describing a normal state of the entry system. The generation of the individual model for the entry system makes it possible, during a subsequent assessment or examination of a current condition of the entry system, to give more detailed information than, for example, when a model generically generated on a test rig may be used. The method includes at least reading and/or receiving, and generating operations. During reading, a surroundings signal may be read, which represents information on surroundings of the entry system. During receiving, a process signal may be received, which represents process information of the entry system generated during operation of the entry system. During generating, the model may be generated using the surroundings signal and/or the process signal.

A machine tool system and an opening stop position calculating device are provided. The machine tool system includes an openable and closable door for closing an opening of a cover surrounding a machine tool. Furthermore, the machine tool system includes an opening width setting unit for setting an opening width of the door, an opening stop position calculating unit for calculating an opening stop position of the door at which a total time, which is obtained by summing a time required to move the door from a fully closed position to a position of the set opening width and a time required to move the door from an opening stop position where the door is opened and stopped to the fully closed position, is minimized, and a door control unit for controlling opening and closing of the door based on the calculated opening stop position when exchanging the workpiece.

A machine tool includes: a cover; a door; a drive mechanism; a detection unit; and an operation panel that receives an operation for the machine tool. A control device of the machine tool performs: processing to control the drive mechanism such that the door is opened, based on the operation panel receiving a first opening operation; processing to obtain an actual position from the detection unit and store the actual position as an opening position of the door, based on the operation panel receiving an operation to determine a position; and processing to control the drive mechanism such that the door is located at the opening position, based on the operation panel receiving a second opening operation. An opening speed of the door during the first opening operation is slower than an opening speed of the door during the second opening operation.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for implementing video controlled adjustment of light conditions at a property. A monitoring system obtains video data from a video recording device at the property and uses the video data to determine a location of a person at the property as well as a location of an electronic window treatment at the property. Using the video data, the system identifies an attribute of light entering a window at the property. The system determines an adjustment setting for the electronic window treatment at the property based on the attribute of the light and the location of the person at the property. Based on the adjustment setting, a command is provided to perform a first adjustment action that adjusts the position of the electronic window treatment located at the window.

Various embodiments of systems and methods for remote monitoring and controlling of electrochromic glass are described. In some embodiments, a device monitoring and control system can receive messages via a communication hub from a plurality of remote installation sites for electrochromic glass units. The messages include telemetry data associated with the electrochromic glass units. The system can stream the telemetry data to a data analytics engine that can perform analytics functions on the telemetry data. The system provides results of the analytics functions to remote destinations via a data analytics interface. The system can also receive, via a control interface, control instructions from remote sources to control one or more of the electrochromic glass units. The system can transmit control messages to the installation sites to implement the control instructions. The system can also establish a connection for a requestor to an installation site using a site's specific connection protocol.

The present invention relates to a system for monitoring an elevator door, an elevator system, and a method for monitoring an elevator door. The elevator door has an open state or a closed state implemented by moving along an elevator sill. The system for monitoring an elevator door includes: one or more imaging sensors configured to collect image data and depth data of at least one section in the elevator sill that is exposed when the elevator door is in the open state; and a data processing device in communication with the imaging sensor and configured to receive and process the image data and the depth data to determine whether an obstacle preventing the elevator door from entering the closed state exists in the section. By applying the present invention, the safety of the elevator door can be improved effectively, and equipment property losses and personal injuries can be avoided.
