Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the remaining life of a fluid onboard a machine are disclosed. One method includes determining a dielectric constant of a fluid, determining an estimate of a remaining useful life of the fluid based at least on the determined dielectric constant of the fluid, and transmitting an indicator representing the estimate of the remaining useful life of the fluid.

Abstract: A tip attachment is disclosed. The tip attachment may an attachment body including a recess to fit on or in a tip of a device during programming of a robotic device. The attachment body may be structured such that the attachment body defines a set of angles of the tip during the programming of the robotic device. The recess may be sized such that the recess defines a distance between the tip and a workpiece during the programming of the robotic device.
