Abstract: Example systems and methods allow for use of a graphical interface to cause one or more robotic devices to construct an output product. One example method includes causing a graphical interface to be displayed on a display device, receiving input data corresponding to one or more interactions with the graphical interface indicating at least one motion path and at least one sequence of tool actions to execute at one or more points within the at least one motion path for use in construction of an output product, generating a plurality of digital nodes including at least one robot node, at least one motion command node, and at least one tool command node, and providing instructions for the at least one robot actor to move according to the sequence of robot motion commands determined by the at least one motion command node and execute the sequence of tool commands determined by the at least one tool command node to construct the output product.

Abstract: Example methods and systems are disclosed for on-demand packaging of one or more items. According to one example, a method can include receiving an order for the item(s) and determining characteristic-information for the item(s) using a computer system. The characteristic-information includes an indication of at least a size and a shape of the item(s). The method also includes processing the characteristic-information based on design criteria to determine an arrangement of the item(s) within at least one container volume, and a configuration for a protective structure to hold the item(s) in the arrangement within the container volume(s). The method can further include, in response to the processing the characteristic-information, forming the protective structure according to the configuration, placing the item(s) into the protective structure according to the arrangement, and placing the protective structure and the item(s) in the container volume(s).

Abstract: Example methods and systems are disclosed for on-demand packaging of one or more items. According to one example, a system includes a actuatable mold having a plurality of movable segments and at least one actuator coupled to the movable segments. The actuator(s) individually and independently move each of the movable segments between a plurality of positions, which determine a shape of a molding surface. At least one controller receives an input indicating a desired configuration of a protective structure and cause the actuator(s) to move one or more of the movable segments such that the shape of the molding surface corresponds to the desired configuration. While the moveable segments are positioned to provide the molding surface corresponding to the desired configuration of the protective structure, the controller(s) cause the packaging material to engage the molding surface to reshape the packaging material according to the molding surface.

Abstract: In response to a request to package item(s), embodiments determine characteristic data for the item(s), which include an indication of a volume of each item. Container(s) for packaging the item(s) is determined based at least on the volume of each item. An arrangement of the item(s) in the container(s) is determined. One or more protective structures including one or more features are configured to position the item(s) in the container(s) according to the arrangement. Relative positions are determined for a plurality of modular elements to form the one or more protective structures. Subsets of the plurality of modular elements are deposited to corresponding relative positions to form at least one of the protective structures. The item(s) are packaged in the container(s) with the one or more protective structures to position the item(s) in the container(s) in the arrangement.

Abstract: A robotic system includes end-effector(s) that combine a plurality of objects in a production process. The system includes sensor(s) that obtain measurement(s) relating to a combination of a first object and one or more other objects during the production process. The system includes a control system communicatively coupled to the sensor(s). The control system stores specifications relating to the combination of the plurality of objects. The control system receives the measurement(s) from the sensor(s), determines a difference based on the measurement(s) and the specifications, determines adjustment(s) to the production process based on the determined difference, and sends, for the end-effector(s), instruction(s) based on the specifications and the one or more adjustment(s). The end-effector(s) combine a second object with the first object and the one or more objects based on the specifications and the one or more adjustment(s).

Abstract: Systems and Methods for Augmented-Human Field Inspection Tools for Automated Phenotyping Systems and Agronomy Tools. In one embodiment, a method for plant phenotyping, includes: acquiring a first set of observations about plants in a field by a trainer. The trainer carries a sensor configured to collect observations about the plant, and the first set of observations includes ground truth data. The method also includes processing the first set of observations about the plants by a trait extraction model to generate instructions for a trainee; and acquiring a second set of observations about the plants by a trainee while the trainee follows the instructions.
