    Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, methods, and systems for providing virtual towing services from a towing vehicle to a towed vehicle. The device transmits a message indicating an offer to provide virtual towing services to the towed vehicle. The device activates a virtual towing mode based on acceptance of the offer. In the virtual towing mode, the device determines a pathway to a repair destination for the towing vehicle together with towed vehicle. The device determines a waypoint and a speed for the towing vehicle along the pathway based on a joint safety assessment of the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle and controls its movements accordingly. The device determines waypoint information and speed information for the towed vehicle based on a transformation of the waypoint and the speed from a first coordinate system of the towing vehicle to a second coordinate system of the towed vehicle.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods of a safety system for monitoring the in-vehicle safety of internal objects within a vehicle. The safety system generates a digital twin of the interior objects from vehicle configuration data indicating a configuration of an interior environment of the vehicle, from interior object data associated with the interior object within the interior environment of the vehicle, and from vehicle situation data that indicates an operating status of the vehicle. The digital twin is an abstract model of the interior objects within the interior environment of the vehicle, and the safety system generates, based on the digital twin, a safety score associated with an operating behavior of the vehicle. Based on the safety score, the safety system determines a target level for the operating behavior.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods of a system that may adapt sensing capabilities based on the risk of the situation. The system may determine a risk estimation of an object in a work environment of a robot based on sensor data and a measurement uncertainty of a sensing system configured to collect the sensor data, wherein the sensor data is indicative of the object in the work environment. The system may also, based on the risk estimation, select a next operation mode from a plurality of operation modes for the sensing system.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods of a safety system for analyzing and improving the safety of environments that may be shared between robots and humans. The safety system may receive a safety envelope that includes a reachable set of locations at an expected position of an object at a prediction time. The receiver may also receive a perception prediction that may be based on the safety envelope and may include environmental information associated with the object at the expected position at the prediction time. The safety system may also include a processor that generates an instruction to move a robot according to a safe movement instruction based on whether a perception check exceeds a predetermined threshold, wherein the perception check may be based on a difference between the perception prediction and sensor information indicative of the environment of the object at the prediction time.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods of a safety system for analyzing and improving the safety of collaborative environments in which a robot may interact a human. The safety system may determine a monitored attribute of a person within an operating environment of a robot, where the monitored attribute may be based on received sensor information about the person in the operating environment. In addition, the safety system may determine a risk score for the person based on the monitored attribute. The risk score may be defined by (1) a collision probability that the person will cause an interference during a planned operation of the robot and (2) a severity level associated with the interference. The safety system may also generate a mitigating instruction for the robot if the risk score exceeds a threshold level.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a passenger monitoring system for monitoring an observed attribute of a passenger in a vehicle. The observed attribute may include a gaze of the passenger, a head track of the passenger, and other observations about the passenger in the vehicle. Based on the observed attribute(s), a field of view of the passenger may be determined. Based on the field of view, a focus point of the passenger may be determined, where the focus point is estimated to be within the field of view. If a sign (e.g., a road sign, a billboard, etc.) is within the field of view of the passenger, record an attention score for the sign based on a duration of time during which the sign is within the field of view and estimated to be the focus point of the passenger.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an active cyclist and/or pedestrian safety system for identifying, warning, and reacting to dangerous situations that may be experienced by cyclists and/or pedestrians. The safety system may receive first information indicative of a head position of a cyclist and determine, based on the first information, a field of view of the cyclist. The safety system may receive second information indicative of an environment of the cyclist and determine, based on the field of view and the environment, an expected trajectory of the cyclist in a next road segment. The safety system may also determine, based on the field of view and the environment, a risk probability for the expected trajectory of the cyclist in the next road segment. The safety system may also generate an instruction to transmit a warning to the cyclist if the risk probability exceeds a threshold value.
