Abstract: A method and system are provided for designing robot cells. Actual examples of robot cells defined by 3D vector data are collected. The 3D vector data is then rasterized and used to train a model to autonomously generate robot cells. After being trained, the model autonomously generates voxel data of a robot cell. The voxel data is then vectorized to provide 3D vector data of the designed robot cell.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for programming robots by users without expertise in specialized robot programming languages. In the method, a high-level description is provided by the user to a translator. The translator translates the description into a transformation. A transformer applies the transformation to an existing robot trajectory in order to provide an updated robot trajectory. The updated robot trajectory is then used to operate the robot.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for training a robot to recognize objects in the workspace of the robot. Objects in the workspace are identified by the user, and the robot determines candidate objects. Feedback may be used in order for the user to confirm whether the candidate object determined by the robot system matches the object intended by the user. Gripping information for the object may also be identified by the user to train the robot how to grip the object.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for programming robots by operators without expertise in specialized robot programming languages. In the method, inputs are received from the operator generically describing a desired robot movement. The system then uses the operator inputs to translate the desired robot movement into software commands that direct the robot to perform the desired robot movement. The robot may then be programmed with the software commands and operated to perform the desired robot movement.

Abstract: A technique for a control method (100) and a control system in a substation is provided. The control system comprises a substation feeder (30), an intelligent electronic device, IED, (36), a merging unit (34), and BUS network (38a, 38b) connecting the IED (36) and the merging unit (34). The control method comprises providing (10) measurement signals by the substation feeder (30) to the merging unit (34); transmitting (12), by the merging unit (34), measurement data based on the measurement signals of the substation feeder to the IED (36) via the BUS network (38a, 38b); identifying (14), by the IED (36), a fault condition based on the measurement data, the fault condition being indicative of a potentially forthcoming fault; transmitting (16), by the IED (36), a conditional control command to the merging unit (34) via the BUS network (38a, 38b), the conditional control command comprising a control measure and a condition for executing the control measure; determining (18), by the merging unit, whether the condition of the conditional control command is met, and if so initiating (20), by the merging unit, the control measure of the substation feeder circuit.

Abstract: A method 100 for automatically providing a time signal to containers in an operating system level virtualization or to virtual machines, the method comprising:
- creating 102 a pool of clocks;
- executing 104 one or more containers in an operating system level virtualization or one or more virtual machines running on an executing hardware device;
- allocating 106 one or more clocks of the pool of clocks to client containers in the one or more containers or to client virtual machines of the one or more virtual machines, thereby obtaining allocated clocks allocated to the client containers or the client virtual machines;
wherein each of the allocated clocks provides a time signal in a time domain to at least one of the client containers or to at least one of the client virtual machines.
