Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and computer readable storage media related to utilizing a thermographic camera to capture at least one thermal image of an object following human manipulation of the object, and generating a grasp affordance for the object based on the temperatures indicated by the captured thermal image. The generated grasp affordance may be utilized, directly or indirectly, by one or more robots for determining grasping parameters for manipulating the object and/or other objects that are similar to the object.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a monitoring device, a monitoring method and a device for cutting and grinding a display substrate. The monitoring device includes an infrared temperature detection module configured to detect a temperature at a contacting position where a cutter wheel is in contact with the display substrate when cutting or grinding the display substrate with the cutter wheel, so as to acquire a temperature parameter at the contacting position; and a processing module configured to generate, based on the temperature parameter, a corresponding control parameter for controlling the process of cutting or grinding procedure the display substrate.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for bending or shaping orthodontic archwires or other medical devices into a complex, patient individual shape is described. The apparatus comprises of two moveable, compact, manipulators with, in total, at least three revolute joints defining three rotation axes and at least three prismatic joints defining at least three translation axes. Gripping tools are provided on the manipulators. The two manipulators are arranged to allow a relative movement in six degrees of freedom. A reduced complexity embodiment is also described having only one or two revolute joints.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an electronic device for food management and a control method thereof. A control method of an electronic device for food management includes measuring intensity of light, which is irradiated with food and reflected, by wavelengths using an infrared sensor; obtaining state information of the food based on the measured light intensity information; and adjusting at least one of temperature and humidity of an area where the food is disposed in the electronic device based on at least one of the obtained state information and preset usage plan information of the food. Accordingly, food which is managed in an optimal sate in consideration of a state of a food stored in an electronic device and a using method (consumption period and consumption method) of the food can be provided to a user.

Abstract:
A robot vision system provides images to a remote robot viewing station, using a single long wave infrared camera on-board the robot. An optical system, also on-board the robot, has mirrors that divide the camera's field of view so that the camera receives a stereoscopic image pair. An image processing unit at the viewing station receives image data from the camera and processes the image data to provide a stereoscopic image.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices relating to urinal, in some examples having a movable portion able to pivot from a generally closed to a generally open position. The urinal may have a drain line engaged with a proximal end of the funnel for conveying urine and rinse water into a sewer line or a toilet bowl and a rinse line coupled with a water supply for rinsing urine therein. The urinal may be movable with the assistance of one or more sensors that may automatically signal other electrical or mechanical components to move one or more portions of the urinal, and may be include elements that seal portions of the urinal when not in use or during cleaning to reduce gas or liquid escaping from the urinal system.
