Abstract: A system that generates training images for neural networks includes one or more processors configured to receive input representing one or more selected areas in an image mask. The one or more processors are configured to form a labeled masked image by combining the image mask with an unlabeled image of equipment. The one or more processors also are configured to train an artificial neural network using the labeled masked image to one or more of automatically identify equipment damage appearing in one or more actual images of equipment and/or generate one or more training images for training another artificial neural network to automatically identify the equipment damage appearing in the one or more actual images of equipment.

Abstract: A generative adversarial network (GAN) system includes a generator sub-network configured to examine one or more images of actual damage to equipment. The generator sub-network also is configured to create one or more images of potential damage based on the one or more images of actual damage that were examined. The GAN system also includes a discriminator sub-network configured to examine the one or more images of potential damage to determine whether the one or more images of potential damage represent progression of the actual damage to the equipment.

Abstract: A manipulation platform includes a navigation system, manipulation arm, and one or more area sensors. The navigation unit locates a position of the manipulation platform, and a manipulation arm has a device or a collection sensor. The area sensors acquire data representative of at least a portion of an area in which the manipulation platform is located. Processors determine or predict a presence of an external object within a manipulation range of the manipulation arm using the data acquired by the one or more area sensors. The processors respond to a determination of the external body being, or being predicted to be, within the manipulation range by controlling one or more of the manipulation arm or the manipulation platform.

Abstract: A robotic system includes one or more optical sensors configured to separately obtain two dimensional (2D) image data and three dimensional (3D) image data of a brake lever of a vehicle, a manipulator arm configured to grasp the brake lever of the vehicle, and a controller configured to compare the 2D image data with the 3D image data to identify one or more of a location or a pose of the brake lever of the vehicle. The controller is configured to control the manipulator arm to move toward, grasp, and actuate the brake lever of the vehicle based on the one or more of the location or the pose of the brake lever.

Abstract: The present approach relates to streaming data derived from inspection data acquired using one or more robots performing inspections of an asset or assets. Such inspections may be fully or partially automated, such as being controlled by one or more computer-based routines, and may be planned or dynamically altered in response to inputs or requirements associated with an end-user of the inspection data, such as a subscriber to the data in a publication/subscription distribution scheme. Thus, an inspection may be planned or altered based on the data needs or subscription levels of the user or customers.

Abstract: An asset inspection system includes a robot and a server. The robot collects inspection data corresponding to an asset. The server, includes a user interface, a processor, and a memory. The memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive the inspection data from the robot, display the inspection data via the user-interface, receive feedback on the inspection data via the user interface, generate a human-assisted inspection based on the received feedback, analyze the inspection data via a trained model, generate an automated inspection based on the analysis by the trained model, combine the automated inspection and the human-assisted inspection to generate an inspection report, and transmit the inspection report for review.
