2022 International EOS/ESD Symposium on Design and System (IEDS)2022Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) damage is a common failure mode in the manufacturing process. This paper introduces a continuous ESD monitoring system for New Product Introduction (NPI) line ESD qualification and early detection of potential static charges buildup on devices to defuse the ESD damage risk.

CoRL 2022 Workshop on Language and Robot Learning2022Household environments are visually diverse. Embodied agents performing Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) in the wild must be able to handle this diversity, while also following arbitrary language instructions. Recently, VisionLanguage models like CLIP have shown great performance on the task of zeroshot object recognition. In this work, we ask if these models are also capable of zero-shot language grounding

Task planning is an important component of traditional robotics systems enabling robots to compose fine grained skills to perform more complex tasks. Recent work building systems for translating natural language to executable actions for task completion in simulated embodied agents is focused on directly predicting low level action sequences that would be expected to be directly executable by a physical

ACM SIGSPATIAL 20222022Sub-meter accurate vehicle localization is often the ultimate goal in the automotive industry as well as fleet management today and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is one of the most practical ways to achieve this goal. In addition to precise navigation and real-time accurate vehicle location tracking, the high-accuracy location data enables many geospatial and mapping applications. Traditionally

JCAI 2022 Workshop on Heuristic Search in Industry2022The increasing demand for same-day delivery and the commitment of e-commerce companies to this service raise a number of challenges in logistics. One of these challenges for fulfillment centers is to coordinate hundreds of mobile robots in their automated warehouses efficiently to allow for the retrieval and packing of thousands of ordered items within the promised delivery deadlines. We formulate this
