    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to magnetic robot calibration. As an example, a robot may engage in a calibration process based at least in part on data samples from a magnetometer. The robot may use the data samples to determine a reference point, with which the robot may process movement instructions accordingly. In some examples, a user device may be used to control the robot, and may comprise a magnetometer for determining a reference point similar to that of the robot. As a result, the user device may communicate with the robot using movement instructions that are based on the reference point determined at the user device, such that the robot may perform the movement instructions using the reference point determined at the robot.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to track layout identification techniques. As an example, a set of track segments may be arranged in a certain order to form a track. A variety of track segment types may be used to form the track, and different combinations of the track segments may yield a track having varying characteristics. In an example, each track segment may comprise of a shift register, which may provide information to a base track segment relating to the order of the track segments and the track segment types that comprise the track. In some examples, the base track segment may relay the information to a computing device. Accordingly, the information may be used to determine a track layout, which may in turn be used to provide, for example, the ability for someone else to reproduce the track configuration.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and method for providing a managed user experience for consumer products. A base station may detect a tag associated with a consumer product, which may be used to retrieve a managed user experience cached locally, or stored at a remote device associated with an experience provider. The managed user experience may include gameplay, content, and/or instructions to perform specified functionality. In an example, content and/or instructions may be transmitted to the consumer product and/or one or more intermediary devices in order to generate the managed user experience. In some examples, information may be received from the consumer product by way of the tag and used to provide the managed user experience. In other examples, the tag may be retrieve and/or provide aspects of a managed user experience from an experience provider without use of the base station or intermediary device.
