Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for improving the safety of a robot. The safety system may determine a safety envelope of a robot based on a planned movement of the robot and based on state information about a load carried by a robot. The state information may include a dynamic status of the load. The safety system may also determine a safety risk based on a detected object with respect to the safety envelope. The safety system may also generate a mitigating action to the planned movement if the safety risk exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: A device may include a processor. The processor may receive sensor data representative of an environment comprising a robot. The processor may extract features from the sensor data to generate an extracted feature set indicating an observation of the robot within the environment. The processor may generate a feature set indicating an expected observation of the robot within the environment based on pre-defined parameters of the robot. The processor may determine a difference between the observation and the expected observation of the robot. The processor may determine a systemic failure based on the difference between the observation and the expected observation of the robot exceeding a threshold value. The processor may instruct the robot to transition to a non-operative state responsive to the systemic failure being determined.

Abstract: The apparatus for the autonomously acting machine comprises an interface for communicating with a computer system, wherein the computer system is separate from the autonomously acting machine. The apparatus includes a processor for executing machine-readable instructions for providing information about an internal state of the autonomously acting machine to the computer system, obtaining a feedback signal from the computer system, the feedback signal indicating whether sensor data for observing the autonomously acting machine is consistent with the internal state of the autonomously acting machine, and wherein the feedback signal is based on a comparison between a digital twin of the autonomously acting machine and the sensor data, wherein an internal state of the digital twin is based on the internal state of the autonomously acting machine, and operating the autonomously acting machine based on the feedback signal.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, methods, and systems for providing an externally augmented camera that may utilize external light sources of a separate sensor to emit light toward a scene so as to provide accurate imaging of the scene, even in dark or low-light situations or where the scene has a high dynamic range of brightness. The externally augmented camera system may include a sensor with a light source capable of emitting light toward a scene, a camera separate from the light source, where the camera includes a detector capable of detecting emitted light from the light source. The externally augmented camera system also causes the sensor to emit light toward the scene via the light source, causes the camera to capture image data of the scene that has been illuminated by emitted light from the light source, and generates an image of the scene based on the image data.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for efficiently checking the integrity of a robot system. The integrity-checking system may generate a predefined motion instruction for a robot, where the predefined motion instruction instructs the robot to perform a random movement at a test time. The random movement may be associated with an expected observation at the test time. The integrity-checking system may also determine a systematic failure based on a difference between the expected observation and a current observation of the robot at the test time. The current observation may be determined from received sensor data, and if the integrity-checking system detects a failure, it may stop the robot's motion or other mitigating instructions.

Abstract: A device may include an image sensor, configured to generate image sensor data representing a vicinity of the device; an image processor, configured to generate a first code from the image sensor data using a code generation protocol; an input validity checker, configured to compare the first code to a second code; and if a similarity of the first code and the second code is within a predetermined range, operate according to a first operational mode; and if the similarity of the first code and the second code is not within the predetermined range, operate according to a second operational mode.
