Abstract: A fleet management system may create and manage tasks within an environment associated with fulfilling, sorting, inducting, and/or distributing packages, such as a warehouse, packaging facility, sortation center, or distribution center. The fleet management system may assign the tasks to agents within the environment. Each of the agents may have capabilities or tasks that the agents are configured to perform and the fleet management system may use these capabilities to assign the tasks to the agents. Additionally, tasks may be assigned based on a location of the agents within the environment. As tasks are generated, the fleet management system may determine a suitable agent to perform the task and may transmit instructions to the agent for carrying out the task. The fleet management system may provide a centralized platform to manage agents, optimize the assignment of tasks, and increase productivity within the environments.

Abstract: A device-management system performs processing, such as audio processing, in an instance of a virtual machine corresponding to a functionally limited (local) device. To register the local device, the device-management system receives a registration request that includes device information, encryption data, and an indication of an associated user account. The device-management system then sends this registration data to a service-provider system, which returns a shared encryption key. The device-management system and the local device may use this shared encryption key to securely communicate. The device-management system may de-allocate the instance upon detecting a period of inactivity of the local device and may re-allocate the instance when new activity is detected. The device-management system may further determine when and if audio data to be sent to the local device is encoded using a codec not implemented by the local device. Upon this determination, the device-management system may transcode the audio data such that is encoded using a known codec.

Abstract: A device-management system performs audio processing, such as acoustic echo cancellation or beamforming, in a computing-resource allocation corresponding to a functionally limited device. The device-management system may be a locally-connected network device that is in communication with one or more user devices; the device-management system may also or instead be a remote device that communicates with the user devices using the locally-connected network device. The device-management system may receive audio data from one or more microphones of one or more user devices. To perform acoustic echo cancellation, the device-management system may receive and process time data corresponding to a time of output of audio by the user device.
