Abstract: A method of safely operating machinery in a workspace includes recording images of a portion of a workspace. The method also includes generating a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the portion of the workspace based on the recorded images, where the 3D representation includes one or more volumes that correspond to the portion of the workspace. Additionally, the method includes identifying one or more of the volumes as being either occupied or unoccupied. Further, the method includes mapping one or more safe zones based on the one or more identified volumes, where the safe zones correspond to one or more regions within the portion of the workspace for safe operation of machinery.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a robot end effector in a processing environment may utilize one or more sensors for digitally recording visual information and providing that information to an industrial workflow. The sensor(s) may be positioned to record at least one image of the robot including the end effector. A processor may determine the identity of the end effector from the recorded image(s) and a library or database stored digital models.

Abstract: A sensor system includes a first member that extends along a rotational axis and has a surface disposed circumferentially about the rotational axis. A conductive element is disposed on the surface of the first member and disposed about the rotational axis. A second member extends along the rotational axis. A rotational position between the first member and the second member is adjustable. A target is mounted to and rotatable with the second member and is movable relative to the second member between first and second positions. The target is spaced apart from the conductive element in both the first and second positions and is spaced further from the conductive element in the second position compared to the first position. The conductive element detects a change in movement of the target from the first position to the second position for any rotational position between the first member and the second member.

Abstract: A human-powered vehicle control device for a human-powered vehicle includes an electronic controller that controls a motor assisting in propulsion of the human-powered vehicle. The electronic controller is configured to control the motor in a first control state that limits at least one of a first driving time of the motor assisting in propulsion of the human-powered vehicle, a first driving number of times of the motor, a driving timing of the motor, a second driving time for driving the motor so that an output of the motor becomes greater than or equal to a predetermined output value, and a second driving number of times for driving the motor so that the output of the motor becomes greater than or equal to the predetermined output value.

Abstract: Example methods and devices for touch-down detection for a robotic device are described herein. In an example embodiment, a computing system may receive a force signal due to a force experienced at a limb of a robotic device. The system may receive an output signal from a sensor of the end component of the limb. Responsive to the received signals, the system may determine whether the force signal satisfies a first threshold and determine whether the output signal satisfies a second threshold. Based on at least one of the force signal satisfying the first threshold or the output signal satisfying the second threshold, the system of the robotic device may provide a touch-down output indicating touch-down of the end component of the limb with a portion of an environment.

Abstract: A mobile robot may include a traveling unit configured to move a main body; a memory configured to store trajectory information of a moving path corresponding to the movement of the main body; a communication unit configured to communicate with another mobile robot that emits a signal; and a controller configured to recognize the location of the another mobile robot based on the signal, and control the another mobile robot to follow a moving path corresponding to the stored trajectory information based on the recognized location. In addition, the controller may control the moving of the another mobile robot to remove at least part of the stored trajectory information, and allow the another mobile robot to follow a moving path corresponding to the remaining trajectory information in response to whether the moving path corresponding to next trajectory information to be followed by the another mobile robot satisfies a specified condition.
