Abstract: Systems and methods for operating autonomous vehicles are described. An autonomous vehicle may detect strategy modes and/or actions of other vehicles in a local environment. The autonomous vehicle may then select a strategy mode for its operations based on the detected strategy modes and/or actions of other vehicles, and based on an operational goal for the autonomous vehicle. The strategy modes may include an uncoupled strategy mode, a permissive strategy mode, an assistive strategy mode, and a preventative strategy mode. The autonomous vehicle may further select an action for its operations based on the selected strategy mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods for coordinating operations of a plurality of autonomous vehicles are described. An autonomous vehicle management system may receive information from the plurality of autonomous vehicles related to strategy modes, actions, and the environments. The strategy modes may include an uncoupled strategy mode, a permissive strategy mode, an assistive strategy mode, and a preventative strategy mode. The autonomous vehicle management system may then process the received information based on an operational goal for the system as a whole. The autonomous vehicle management system may then instruct modifications to operations of one or more of the plurality of autonomous vehicles to achieve the operational goal for the system.

Abstract: Items, such as produce items, may be placed in containers, imaged, weighed, and stored for subsequent retrieval. Images that depict the items and attributes associated with the items may be presented to customers via an interface. Upon receiving an indication that a customer has purchased one or more items via the interface, a container that includes the one or more items is retrieved. The one or more items are removed from the container and packaged for delivery to the customer. The resulting empty container is refilled with new items, which are then imaged, weighed, and stored.

Abstract: Techniques for tracking deliveries of items and verifying route adherence by a delivery person may be described herein. For example, first information may be maintained that identifies an association of a virtual asset with a machine-readable identifier. Further, second information may be generated and maintained that identifies an association of the machine-readable identifier with an item. Upon receiving an order for an item, delivery instructions may be generated and provided to an entity for delivering the item to a location. The delivery to the location may be verified based at least in part on geo-location information provided by a user device interacting with the machine-readable identifier of the item. In embodiments, the virtual asset associated with the machine-readable identifier may be associated with a user profile corresponding to the delivery location instead of with the machine-readable identifier.

Abstract: Diagnostics may be performed on imaging devices such as digital cameras that are provided in large numbers, or mounted in arrays or networks, by providing imaging data captured from such devices to a machine learning system or classifier that has been trained to recognize anomalies based on imaging data. The machine learning system or classifier may be trained using a training set of imaging data previously captured by one or more imaging devices that has been labeled with regard to whether such imaging devices encountered any anomalies when the imaging data was captured, and if so, which anomalies were encountered. Additionally, a perceptual score which represents the quality of a given image or imaging data may be calculated and used to rank or define the image or imaging data in terms of quality, or determine whether the image or imaging data is suitable for its intended purpose.

Abstract: A reflected light identification (RLID) system uses light to communicate stored information across long distances with minimal interference. The RLID system may include a light source that directs an incident light signal to an RLID structure, which then transmits an encoded light signal to a sensor. The RLID system may include a passive RLID structure (i.e., a structure that does not include power source) such as an RLID reflection surface that includes layered reflective films that reflect the incident light signal back in multiple reflections that serially encodes data. The RLID system may also include an active RLID structure (i.e., a structure that includes power source) that uses energy harvesting to extract and accumulate power from an incident light signal, and then uses the harvested energy to transmit a return signal.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for generating live broadcasts of product usage from multiple users. In one embodiment, an example method may include determining a product identifier of a product for which a product lifecycle video is to be generated, determining a first camera to use for capturing a first portion of a video of the product, where the first portion corresponds to a first lifecycle stage of the product, and capturing the first portion. Example methods may include determining a second camera to use for capturing a second portion of video of the product, where the second portion corresponds to a second lifecycle stage of the product, capturing the second portion, and causing presentation of the video.

Abstract: Systems may include a storage location and a bladder. The storage location may have a volume. The bladder may be selectively inflatable and deflatable to change an amount of the volume of the storage location that is occupied by the bladder. Fluid communication between the bladder and an inflation network may change an amount of pressurized fluid present in the bladder so as to change the amount of the volume of the storage location occupied by the bladder. For example, this may cause the bladder to press against an item in the storage location, such as to secure the item or to facilitate a determination of an amount of space that is occupied in the storage location and/or an amount of space that is available for receipt of additional items.

Abstract: Autonomous vehicles may be deployed to areas where an item is in demand, and configured to fulfill orders for the item received from the areas. The autonomous vehicles are loaded with the item and dispatched to the area under their own power or in a carrier. When an order for the item is received, an autonomous vehicle delivers the item to a location in the area. Autonomous vehicles may also be equipped with a 3D printer or other equipment and loaded with materials for manufacturing the item. When an order for the item is received, the autonomous vehicle manufactures the item from such materials, and delivers the item. Autonomous vehicles may be configured for collaboration, such as to deliver or manufacture items in multiple stages and to transfer the items between vehicles. Autonomous vehicles may also be configured to automatically access locations in the area, e.g., using wireless access codes.

Abstract: Three-dimensional models of objects may be generated according to adaptive depth sensing techniques. An imaging device may include a projector that is configured to project light (e.g., infrared light) onto selected portions of a scene, and a depth imaging sensor configured to capture reflections of the projected light. The projector may be used to project points of light onto aspects of a scene having high degrees of variation of depth, color, texture, curvature or other attributes, where an increased number of depth values may be required to accurately depict a profile of an object within a scene, and to avoid projecting light onto aspects of the scene having low degrees of variation of depth, color, texture, curvature or such other attributes, where the profile of the object may be accurately represented by comparatively fewer depth values.
