    Abstract: A system and method to control execution of a centralized and decentralized controlled plan, has been described. A plan execution engine executing at a cloud node, receives sensor data captured by one or more sensors at a plurality of autonomous robots and a plan execution status of the centralized controlled plan. The plan execution engine executing at the cloud node, determines whether the plurality of autonomous robots satisfy a transition condition. Next a determination is made one or more activated constraints and task allocation for one or more autonomous robots in the next state. Next the plan execution engine executing at the cloud node and autonomous robots collaboratively determine a constraint solution for the activated one or more plan constraints. Finally based on the determined constraint solution, the one or more plan execution engines sends instructions to an actuator for executing the task included in the centralized controlled plan.

    Abstract: A system and method to manage a plurality of devices has been described. Initially a device manager server in a cloud device management system, sends a selection of one or more device monitoring parameters to retrieve device monitoring data from a device from the plurality of devices. Next a device monitoring data is received corresponding to the selected one or more device monitoring parameters retrieved from the device and stored in one of a log database and a metric database at the cloud device management system. Next one or more device monitoring data are executed at the cloud device management system based on the device monitoring data stored at the log database and the metric database. Finally the result of execution is displayed at a console of the cloud device management system.

    Abstract: A system and a method to optimize route plans for handling critical scenarios faced in an operating environment have been described. The system or a platform resolves one or more nodes based on the inputs related to an operating environment. The system plans one or more routes based on the resolved nodes to provide generated route plans. Based on the planning, the system may analyze one or more route plans for critical scenarios, for example, avoiding a collision or minimizing congestion, damage to the robot, performance of vehicle or warehouse, etc. After the route plans are analyzed, the system optimizes one or more route plans to provide optimized route plans. The optimized route plans are distributed to one or more autonomous vehicles. The fleet of autonomous vehicles may then route progress messages and share feedback with the platform.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to method and system for geographic routing mesh network. The method may include determining, by a first node, a first list of nodes proximal to the first node in a mesh network. The method further includes sending, by the first node to each node on the first list of nodes, the first list of nodes proximal to the first node. The method(s) further includes receiving, by the first node in response to sending the first list of nodes, one or more second list of nodes from one or more nodes of the first list of nodes, each of the one or more second list of nodes being proximal to one of the one or more nodes of the first list of nodes and updating, by the first node in response to receiving one or more second list of nodes proximal to the one more nodes of the first list of nodes, one or more nodes of the first list of nodes.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed to generate and display targeted information related to a plurality of robots working in an operating environment. Plurality of nodes executing at the plurality of robots in communication with plurality of server nodes executing behaviors related to an active plan being executed on the working robots. The nodes running on the robots create Snapshots related to the executing behaviors. Information is then captured based on parent context related to the executing behaviors. The nodes populate a plurality of fields of the Snapshots with values related to at least one or more of captured information, operating environment, and the robots. The Snapshots are closed with a result of the execution of the behaviors. The Snapshots are aggregated and reported by the nodes, as part of the targeted information for display. Customized search queries or visual interfaces can be used to fix or diagnose faults or errors.

    Abstract: A system and method to generate and deploy a cloud device application has been described. Initially a software service is selected from a software service store to generate the cloud device application. A selection of composition pattern is then received for generating a cloud device application including the software service. Based on the composition pattern an instance of the software service is generated and deployed at cloud and one or more devices. Next an instance of the application is generated and bound to the deployed instance of the software service. Finally the instance of the application bound to the deployed instance of the software service is deployed to the cloud and the one or more devices.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose methods and systems to avoid congestion in an area by a plurality of robots awaiting access to a common resource. A current robot action and a sensor data of one of the plurality of robots is received at a cloud node from a plan execution engine executing at a processor of the one of the plurality of robots. Based on the received current robot action and the sensor data, a determination is made whether the one of the plurality of robots has to access the common resource. Next a spatial query is executed at the cloud node to determine a location in the area for positioning the one of the plurality of robots awaiting access to the common resource based on a static spatial condition that requires a congestion-free movement in the area when the robot is positioned at the location in the area. Next a priority order for accessing the common resource is determined by the plan execution engine. Finally, based on the determined priority order, the common resource is accessed by the one of the plurality of robots.

    Abstract: A system and method to manage communication between a plurality of heterogeneous devices and a cloud has been described. A speaker communication property of a speaker node executing at one of the plurality of heterogeneous devices and the cloud in a first network is compared with a listener communication property of a listener node executing at another of the plurality of devices in a second network. A message-type agnostic speaker proxy included in the first network is then generated based on the comparison. Next a message-type agnostic buffer including serialized message corresponding to a message send by the speaker node is received at the first communication bridge in the first network. Finally, the message-type agnostic speaker proxy forwards the serialized message included in the message-type agnostic buffer to the listener node in the first network.
