    Abstract: A store profile generation system includes a mobile base and an image capture assembly mounted on the base. The assembly includes at least one image capture device for acquiring images of product display units in a retail environment. A control unit acquires the images captured by the at least one image capture device at a sequence of locations of the mobile base in the retail environment. The control unit extracts product-related data from the acquired images and generates a store profile indicating locations of products and their associated tags throughout the retail environment, based on the extracted product-related data. The store profile can be used for generating new product labels for a sale in an appropriate order for a person to match to the appropriate locations in a single pass through the store.

    Abstract: An example dynamic packaging display includes a plurality of indicator lights, a temperature sensor, an internal clock, a processor, and a power source. The processor is communicatively coupled to the plurality of indicator lights, the temperature sensor, and the internal clock. The processor is to activate one of the plurality of indicator lights in response to an expiration of a period of time tracked by the internal clock or a temperature that is measured by the temperature sensor exceeding a temperature threshold. The power source is to provide power to the plurality of indicator lights, the temperature sensor, the internal clock, and the processor.

    Abstract: A system for evaluating human interactions with items, such as products displayed on shelves, includes at least one wireless reader which collects data from a set of associated wireless tags in an interrogation zone. The tags and readers may be based on RFID technology. The collected data includes an identifier for an item that is associated with each wireless tag and a touch sensor status indicating whether the item is being touched. A computer receives and aggregates the collected data and outputs an evaluation of human interactions with the items based on the data.

    Abstract: Direction and speed of robotic data acquisition systems engaged in acquiring data in mapped or route-planned environments, and/or environments having reference features (e.g., shelves, walls, curbs or other structure) enabling additional guidance and control, are disclosed. A mobile base can include wheels adapted to navigate an environment. At least one sensor (e.g., imaging camera, acoustic, passive infrared, etc.) can be mounted on the mobile base and acquires data (e.g., images) of items associated with or located along fixed structures defining the pathways within the environment. A computer can control mobile base movement and orientation with respect to the at least one structure utilizing range sensors and PID controllers, track mobile base location, and organize acquired data. Range sensors under the control of the at least one computer can be adapted to control mobile base movement in a straight line and at a constant speed with respect to a fixed structure.
