Abstract: A technique for encouraging a user towards a selected mental or emotional state includes: determining an influencing directive for encouraging the user towards the selected mental or emotional state; selecting environmental content, based upon the influencing directive, from a plurality of different types of environmental content; presenting the environmental content to the user via sensory immersion equipment, wherein the includes at least one environmental display for altering an ambience of a room; generating observation data based upon observing a user reaction to the environmental content with an observation system, the observation system including at least one sensor capable of observing the user reaction; and determining whether to adjust the environmental content based upon the observation data to encourage the user towards the selected mental or emotional state.

Abstract: Examples implementations relate to navigation path determination. An example method includes receiving, at a computing system, video data showing a demonstration path for navigating a location. The method further includes identifying, using the video data, a set of permissible surfaces at the location, wherein each permissible surface was traversed by the demonstration path. The method additionally includes determining a navigation path for a vehicle to follow at the location, wherein the navigation path includes a variation from the demonstration path such that the variation causes the vehicle to stay within one or more permissible surfaces from the set of permissible surfaces. The method also includes causing, by the computing system, the vehicle to follow the navigation path to navigate the location.

Abstract: Examples implementations relate to determining path confidence for a vehicle. An example method includes receiving a request for a vehicle to navigate a target location. The method further includes determining a navigation path for the vehicle to traverse a first segment of the target location based on a plurality of prior navigation paths previously determined for traversal of segments similar to the first segment of the target location. The method also includes determining a confidence level associated with the navigation path. Based on the determined confidence level, the method additionally includes selecting a navigation mode for the vehicle from a plurality of navigation modes corresponding to a plurality of levels of remote assistance. The method further includes causing the vehicle to traverse the first segment of the target location using a level of remote assistance corresponding to the selected navigation mode for the vehicle.

Abstract: An example system includes a delivery vehicle, a sensor connected to the delivery vehicle, and a control system that determines a delivery destination for an object. The control system receives sensor data representing a physical environment of at least a portion of the delivery destination and determines a drop-off spot for the object within the delivery destination by way of an artificial neural network (ANN). The ANN is trained to determine the drop-off spot based on previously-designated drop-off spots within corresponding delivery destinations and includes an input node that receives the sensor data, hidden nodes connected to the input node, and an output node connected to the hidden nodes that provides data indicative of a location of the drop-off spot. The control system additionally causes the delivery vehicle to move to and place the object at the drop-off spot.

Abstract: An example method may include receiving, from a client computing device, an indication of a target drop-off spot for an object within a first virtual model of a first region of a delivery destination. A second virtual model of a second region of the delivery destination may be determined based on sensor data received from one or more sensors on a delivery vehicle. A mapping may be determined between physical features represented in the first virtual model and physical features represented in the second virtual model to determine an overlapping region between the first and second virtual models. A position of the target drop-off spot within the second virtual model may be determined based on the overlapping region. Based on the position of the target drop-off spot within the second virtual model, the delivery vehicle may be navigated to the target drop-off spot to drop off the object.

Abstract: A device is provided that includes a light-sensing layer including photodetectors, a light guide arranged to direct light beams towards a document area, and an angle-selective layer arranged to filter light beams reflected from the document area based on respective angles of incidence of the reflected light beams. The device also includes a controller configured to: operate the light guide to emit light, such that a plurality of light beams is directed towards the document area, where a portion of the light beams is reflected off of the document area and filtered by the angle-selective layer to direct a subset of the reflected light beams to the light-sensing layer. The controller is also configured to receive data indicative of the subset of light beams, generate an image of a document in the document area, detect text in the image, translate the text, and display the translated text on a display.
