摘要： An augmented reality driver system, device, and method safely guide a vehicle driver to yield to pedestrians. A vehicle navigator determines a turn lane based upon proximity to a vehicle. A target sensor detects a pedestrian entering the turn lane and to determine a crosswalk path across the turn lane. An augmented reality controller three dimensionally maps a forward view including the pedestrian, and spatially overlays an augmented reality display on the volumetric heads up display for a driver of the vehicle by projecting a yielding indication adjacent to the crosswalk path.

摘要： A system and method for animating a character with activation-driven muscle deformation. External loads can be estimated through an iterative joint torque estimation process, and the external loads reflected in a physical model. Kinematic motion and the physical model reflecting external loads can be used to estimate joint torques. Muscle activations can be determined from the joint torques, and a character can be animated with muscle deformation responsive to the muscle activations.

摘要： A method, augmented reality driving system and device safely guide a vehicle driver to perform a left turn. A vehicle navigator detects a left turn based upon proximity and speed for a vehicle. A target sensor determines a current position and a relative vector for an oncoming vehicle in a lane for opposing traffic that is approaching the left turn. An augmented reality controller three dimensionally maps a forward view including the oncoming vehicle and spatially overlays an augmented reality display on a volumetric heads up display for a driver of the vehicle by projecting a target path of the oncoming vehicle based upon the vector and relative vector and by projecting a left turn path.

摘要： A system includes at least one sensor, at least one display, and a computing device coupled to the at least one sensor and the at least one display. The computing device includes a processor, and a computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon. When executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the processor to receive information from at least a first occupant, identify an object based at least partially on the received information, and present, on the at least one display, a first image associated with the object to a second occupant. The first image is aligned substantially between an eye position of the second occupant and the object such that the at least one display appears to one of overlay the first image over the object and position the first image adjacent to the object with respect to the eye position of the second occupant.

摘要： A user interface screen for displaying data associated with operation of a robot where the user interface screen includes one or more windows that can be rotated and then minimized into an icon to render space for other windows. As user input for moving a window is received, the window moves to an edge. As further user input is received, the window is rotated about an axis and then minimized into an icon. In this way, the windows presented on the screen can be intuitively operated by a user.

摘要： An extensible task engine framework for humanoid robots. Robot instructions are stored as tasks and skills. Tasks are designed so that they can be executed by a variety of robots with differing configurations. A task can refer to zero or more skills. A skill can be designed for a particular configuration of robot. A task can be transferred from robot to robot. When executed on a particular robot, the task makes calls to one or more skills that can take advantage of the capabilities of that robot.

摘要： Systems and methods are presented that enable a higher-level software application to control a robot's motion through a generic motion interface. In one embodiment, a system includes a controller, an interface, and a set of robot driver modules. The interface receives a command from the controller and translates the command into another command to send to the driver modules. The interface includes a client, a server, and a network. The server includes two interfaces: a client interface to communicate with the client and a driver interface to communicate with the driver modules. The server also includes two buffers: a command queue and a reply queue. The command queue stores commands received from the controller (via the client). The reply queue stores replies received from the driver modules.

摘要： A system or method for generating gestures in a robot during generation of a speech output by the robot by analyzing a speech text and selecting appropriate gestures from a plurality of candidate gestures. The speech text is analyzed and tagged with information relevant to generating of the gestures. Based on the speech text, the tagged information and other relevant information, a gesture identifier is selected. A gesture template corresponding to the gesture identifier is retrieved and then processed by adding relevant parameter to generate a gesture descriptor representing a gesture to be taken by the robot. A gesture motion is planned based on the gesture descriptor and analysis of timing associated with the speech, wherein the amplitude, frequency or speed of the selected gesture is modified based on random numbers of specific range depending on the status of the robot. Actuator signals for controlling the actuators such as arms and hands are generated based on the planned gesture motion.

摘要： A publish-subscribe architecture based blackboard system for selecting and exchanging selected information among a plurality of processing modules using filters for implementing conditions described in a procedural language to reduce the amount of information transmitted between the processing modules. More than one filter may be dynamically installed in a message hub to select and collect the published information to be sent to a certain subscribing module. By using the procedural language to describe the filters, the message hub can more intelligently select the information to be sent to the subscribing module. This reduces the amount of information transmitted via communication channels. Further, the subscribing module may be relieved from the task of filtering the information received from the message hub, allowing the subscribing module to devote more resources to other operations.
