Abstract: A method of classifying a task includes obtaining a plurality of images via an image capturing device and an audio signal via an audio sensor for a predetermined period of time. The method further includes classifying, via a first trained machine learning model, the plurality of images to generate a list of first class probabilities and a list of first class labels. The method further includes classifying, via a second trained machine learning model, the audio signal to generate a list of second class probabilities and a list of second class labels. The method further includes determining, via a merging algorithm, a list of third class probabilities and a list of third class labels based on the lists of first and second class probabilities. The method further includes determining the task corresponding to the predetermined period of time based on the list of third class probabilities.

Abstract: A replacement part validation system is presented that includes a scanning system that scans a received part and provides the scan results of the received part. The system also includes a part recognition module that, based on the received scan results of the received part and provides a part identification and a part quality metric. The system also includes a job assignment module that assigns the received part to an outstanding repair job. The system also includes an output generator that outputs the outstanding repair job and the part quality metric. The system also includes a computing processor that, based on the received scanned results, causes the part recognition module to review a database of parts and retrieve a most-likely match. The part quality metric is based on a comparison of the received part to the most-likely match. The computing processor causes the output generator to output the outstanding repair job and part quality metric to a source.

Abstract: Automated systems and methods of using a tape applicator mounted on a robot arm to apply a tape onto an object surface are provided. The tape applicator, which is instructed by a controller, can automatically follow a real-time-updated tape coverage path on the object surface to optimize the tape application while the tape applicator moves along the object surface. The tape applicator can also create tabs in real time.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method of identifying a vehicle, and a system thereof. The method can include receiving a first image of a vehicle from a first camera and classifying the vehicle in the first image with a vehicle class label. The method can also include determining a first vehicle fingerprint for the vehicle. The method can also include detecting any changes in the first vehicle fingerprint and the vehicle class label after a first time period. The detected changes in the first vehicle fingerprint can correspond to a disassembly state of the vehicle. The method can also include performing, if the vehicle class label is unchanged, at least one action in response to detected changes in the first vehicle fingerprint.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid delivery assembly (1) for a spray gun, the assembly comprising a container (20) for holding paint. The container is self-supporting and configured to collapse as fluid is dispensed via the spray gun, wherein the container comprises at least one vent (26). The invention further relates to a spray gun including such fluid delivery assembly, a method of forming the container and a thermo/vacuum forming tool to be used in such method.

Abstract: A method and associated system for providing robotic paint repair includes receiving coordinates of identified defects in a substrate along with characteristics of the defects, and communicating the coordinates to a robot controller module along with additional data needed to control a robot manipulator to bring an end effector of the robot manipulator into close proximity to the identified defect on the substrate. The characteristics of the defect and current state of at least the end effector is provided to a policy server that provides repair actions based on a previously learned control policy that is updated by a machine learning unit. The repair action is executed by communicating instructions for the repair action to the robot controller module and end effector.

Abstract: A spray gun reservoir including a cup, a lid, and a filter. The cup defines an internal containment volume. The lid defines an outlet. The filter is disposed between the containment volume and the outlet such that liquid flow from the containment volume to the outlet interfaces with the filter. The filter includes a knitted fabric filter media. The knitted fabric filter media can include filaments knitted in a pattern defining a plurality of pores, and is formed, at least in part, by warp knitting or weft knitting. At least some of the pore can be non-square in shape, including a triangular shape. The pores can be distributed across the knitted fabric filter media in a controlled, non-random manner. The knitted fabric filter media can include first and second layers of knitted fabric arranged to define a depth filter.
