摘要:
A tightly coupled fusion approach that dynamically consumes light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and sonar data to generate reliable and scalable indoor maps for autonomous robot navigation. The approach may be used for the ubiquitous deployment of indoor robots that require the availability of affordable, reliable, and scalable indoor maps. A key feature of the approach is the utilization of a fusion mechanism that works in three stages: the first LiDAR scan matching stage efficiently generates initial key localization poses; a second optimization stage is used to eliminate errors accumulated from the previous stage and guarantees that accurate large-scale maps can be generated; and a final revisit scan fusion stage effectively fuses the LiDAR map and the sonar map to generate a highly accurate representation of the indoor environment.

A system for generating a semantic 3D map, that includes at least one image capture device capable of capturing and transmitting digital frames of images; a temporal and unified panoptic segmentation module programmed, structed, and/or configured to receive the frames of images from the at least one image capture device and integrate a heuristic panoptic label fusion module with a loss function of a neural network to realize end-to-end panoptic segmentation; a geometric segmentation module programmed, structured and/or configured to receive the frames of images from the at least one image capture device and for discovering previously unseen scene elements, wherein at every frame, it generates a set of closed 2D regions and a set of corresponding 3D segments from a depth image; a segmentation refinement module programmed, structed, and/or configured to refine geometric labels using panoptic labels; and a 3D volumetric integration module programmed, structed, and/or configured to directly register each pixel of object segments into 3D space without checking the IoU ratio with historical information.

A torque wrench apparatus comprises a top wrench, a bottom wrench, and a middle wrench. The top and bottom wrenches are configured such that either one of them rotates a first joint in a first direction, and the middle wrench is configured to rotate a second joint in a second direction opposite the first direction; or the top and bottom wrenches are configured such that either one of them immobilizes a first joint, and the middle wrench is configured to rotate a second joint in a first direction; or the middle wrench is configured to immobilize a first joint, and the top and bottom wrenches are configured such that either one of them rotates a second joint in a second direction opposite the first direction. A method for making and breaking joints with the apparatus is also introduced.

A voice activation system is provided. The voice activation system includes a first stage configured to output a first activation signal if at least one energy characteristic of a received audio signal satisfies at least one threshold and a second stage configured to transition from a first state to a second state in response to the first activation signal and, when in the second state, to output a second activation signal if at least a portion of a profile of the audio signal substantially matches at least one predetermined profile.

This invention provides a method and a device for controlling switch between appliances. The method includes: setting a group of control signals according to operations to be performed by appliances involved in a switch between a current appliance and a target appliance; and controlling the appliances involved in the switch between the current appliance and the target appliance to perform operations corresponding to the group of control signals, when the switch is triggered. The method simplifies the operation of switch between appliances in a multi-appliance environment and enables one appliance switching key to control multiple appliances.

An anti-counterfeit authentication system provides authentication services over available communication networks. The system assigns unique anti-counterfeit certificates to authentic items. The certificates are stored in anti-counterfeit tags that are attached to the authentic items. An authentication server provides authentication services to authentication clients over the communication networks. The authentication clients read, via tag readers, the anti-counterfeit certificates from the tags associated with items to be authenticated, provide the anti-counterfeit certificates to the authentication server which determines authenticity and supplies authentication results back to the authentication clients.
