    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include a collaborative manufacturing system utilizing a plurality of mobile agents. The mobile agents operate dual robotic arms to improve single and multi-material builds' efficiency. In some embodiments, the dual robotic arms work together in the same area to create multi-functional components. In addition, the mobile agents can change tool heads on the arms to allow for hybrid manufacturing such as pick and place, additive, and subtractive manufacturing. One or more mobile agents interact with other mobile agents, thereby increasing the end product's efficiency and quality. Mobile agents utilize swarm manufacturing techniques to improve the manufactured product's time efficiency further and use machine learning to adjust and re-assign mobile agents constantly.

    Abstract: Computer aided design software for designing a building or other structure of brick construction, where in addition to the usual three dimensional modelling and rendering typical of CAD software, tabular data describing the spatial location and orientation of each brick is provided, including information regarding which bricks are cut to length so as to be shortened, and where they are located along each course, and which bricks are machined, drilled or routed for services or other special fittings. Data pertaining to this is compiled in a database for access by control software to control a brick laying machine to build a building or other structure from bricks. The database may receive via interface with a scanner data being a measure of the elevation of the footings and/or concrete pad that has been constructed according to the building plan and for each brick of the first course, to determine how much material must be machined off the bottom of each brick so that when the first course is laid, the tops of the bricks of the first course are at the same level. This machining data is stored for each brick with the tabular data produced by computer aided design software, so that the control software can control the brick laying machine to machine and cut each brick as per the stored data, and convey each brick to the stored position on the footing, pad or previously laid course of bricks, with application of adhesive prior to positioning of the brick.

    Abstract: Such a situation that excessive loads repetitively act on a force sensor and a robot arm and an excessive load acts on each work piece is suppressed, and even if there is a variation in a mass of a first work piece gripped by a robot hand, a high-precise fitting operation can be executed. A control unit for impedance-controlling the operation of a robot arm so that one work piece is come into contact with another work piece moves a robot hand for gripping the one work piece, and sets a value acquired before the start of the impedance control to a first target value. The impedance control is made based on the first target value.

    Abstract: Systems and methods provided herein. In one embodiment, a borescope system includes a probe to capture images and a display a settings menu, measurements, the images captured by the probe, or any combination thereof. In addition, the borescope system a processor programmed to display a user interface to enable a user to control movement of the probe, adjust settings, navigate menus, make selections, or any combination thereof. The processor is communicatively coupled to the probe, and the display, and is programmed to instruct the borescope to enter a live menu view when an articulation mode is selected from the settings menu. In the live menu view, the processor is programmed to instruct the display to display the images captured by the probe, and to enable a user to control the movement of the probe and adjust articulation sensitivity of the probe while viewing the images on the display.

    Abstract: A control apparatus and methods using context-dependent difference learning for controlling e.g., a plant. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes an actor module and a critic module. The actor module provides a control signal for the plant. The actor module is subject to adaptation, which is performed to optimize control strategy of the actor. The adaptation is based upon the reinforcement signal provided by the critic module. The reinforcement signal is calculated based on the comparison of a present control performance signal observed for a certain context signal, with a control performance signal observed for the same context in the past.
