    Abstract: Method, and corresponding system, for producing an alert during manufacture of a part formed by a plurality of layers. The method includes determining the sensor data values at the working tool positions of each of the plurality of layers based on a correlation of the values of the sensor data relative to time and the working tool positions of each of the plurality of layers relative to time. During the manufacturing process, the sensor data values at the working tool positions of at least one of the plurality of layers are compared to reference data values at the working tool positions for the at least one layer to determine a comparison measure for the at least one layer. An alert is transmitted if the determined comparison measure of a layer is not within a defined range. A defined action is applied to the manufacturing process based on the transmitted alert.

    Abstract: A system including at least three robots. Each robot including a proximity sensor unit and an imaging device. At least one robot including a processor to perform a method of estimating a pose of a human, the method including obtaining a first pose estimate for the human, the first pose estimate based on proximity sensor information, obtaining a second pose estimate for the human, the second pose estimate based on imaging device information, and generating a refined pose estimate for the human by fusing the first pose estimate with the second pose estimate, where the first pose information provides predictive values and the second pose estimate provides correction values. The method including applying a deep neural network (DNN) human model, and applying a DNN human pose model. A method to generate a refined pose estimation for a human and a non-transitory computer readable medium are also disclosed.

    Abstract: According to some embodiments, an edge device may receive, via a secure, distributed transaction ledger (e.g., associated with blockchain technology), information about a task contract published by a publisher device including an indication of a benefit and encryption information. The task contract might be associated with, for example, a compute transaction task and/or a physical task. The edge device may evaluate the received information in accordance with resources locally available at the edge device, and, responsive to said evaluation, transmit to the secure, distributed transaction ledger an indication of acceptance of the published task contract. According to some embodiments, the edge device may execute the published task contract, and, upon completion, arrange to receive the benefit associated with the published task contract.

    Abstract: A method of robot autonomous navigation includes capturing an image of the environment, segmenting the captured image to identify one or more foreground objects and one or more background objects, determining a match between one or more of the foreground objects to one or more predefined image files, estimating an object pose for the one or more foreground objects by implementing an iterative estimation loop, determining a robot pose estimate by applying a robot-centric environmental model to the object pose estimate by implementing an iterative refinement loop, associating semantic labels to the matched foreground object, compiling a semantic map containing the semantic labels and segmented object image pose, and providing localization information to the robot based on the semantic map and the robot pose estimate. A system and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are also disclosed.
