G07C 5/08

Abstract:

A wiper system for use with a windshield includes a track guide, a wiper assembly, a drive mechanism and a wipe mechanism. The wiper assembly has a wiper arm attached at a first end thereof to a rotor rotatably disposed on a wiper carrier, wherein the wiper carrier is engaged with the track guide and is configured for translation therealong. The drive mechanism is connected with the wiper carrier and is configured for positioning the wiper carrier along the track guide. The wipe mechanism is connected with at least one of the rotor and the wiper carrier and is configured to cause the rotor to rotate, thereby causing the wiper arm to produce a wiping motion.

International Classification:

G06N 99/00
G06K 7/10

Abstract:

A system for demonstrating a task to a robot includes a glove, sensors, and a controller. The sensors measure task characteristics while a human operator wears the glove and demonstrates the task. The task characteristics include a pose, joint angle configuration, and distributed force of the glove. The controller receives the task characteristics and uses machine learning logic to learn and record the demonstrated task as a task application file. The controller transmits control signals to the robot to cause the robot to automatically perform the demonstrated task. A method includes measuring the task characteristics using the glove, transmitting the task characteristics to the controller, processing the task characteristics using the machine learning logic, generating the control signals, and transmitting the control signals to the robot to cause the robot to automatically execute the task.

Abstract:

A system for assembling a first component and a second component comprises a support operatively supporting the first component without any fixtures, a vision system configured to view the supported first component and the second component and determine the locations thereof, a robotic system configured to move and position the second component relative to the first component, and a controller operatively connected to the vision system and to the robotic system and operable to control the robotic system to position the second component relative to the first component based on the locations determined by the vision system. Various methods of assembling the first component and the second component are provided to create a process joint prior to creation of a structural joint in a subsequent assembly operation.
