Abstract: Systems and methods of state detection of material surfaces of wearable objects using color sensing are provided. A color sensor is used to sense light from material surfaces of wearable objects to obtain color sensing data. State information (e.g., tension, compression, deformation, displacement, level of material wear, etc.) of the material surfaces can be determined based on the obtained color sensing data.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for filter media monitoring within a filtration system. The filter media monitoring techniques described herein include, for example, direct contact with the filter media, e.g., a sensor may be located inside a boundary defined by a surface of the filter media, or indirect contact with the filter media, e.g., a sensor may be located outside the boundary defined by the surface of the filter media such that the sensor does not make direct physical contact with the filter media being monitored.

Abstract: A shoe (606) degradation sensor (1012, 608) assembly includes a first sensor (1002) disposed in or proximate to a material layer of a shoe (606) between a foot space and an outer surface of the shoe (606). The material layer changes in at least one physical property with degradation to the shoe (606), and the first sensor (1002) is configured to indicate the changing physical property of the material layer thereby indicating a degree of degradation to the shoe (606).

Abstract: A reader device includes a camera board, processing circuitry in communication with the camera board, and an interface in communication with the processing circuitry. The camera board is configured to capture image data associated with an output signal area of a biological chromatographic test strip. The processing circuitry is configured to determine, based on the image data captured by the camera board, a concentration of a target analyte in a test sample submitted via the biological chromatographic test strip. The interface is configured to output data indicative of the concentration of the target analyte determined by the processing circuitry.

Abstract: Automated systems and methods of using a smart end-effector tool to prepare (e.g., scuffing, abrading, sanding, polishing, etc.) an object surface are provided. The smart tool can update its working state with a robot arm in real time, which in turn adjusts locomotion parameters to optimize the tool's working state on the object surface.
