Abstract:

Architectures and techniques to control heterogeneous teams of robots. Input is received from a remote device with a control platform. The control platform provides a control mechanism for a team of heterogenous robots having at least two different control structures. Control signals are generated for at least two different types of robots communicatively coupled with the control platform. A first type of robot is independent of a second type of robot and the first and second type of robot have different control mechanisms. The first type of robot receives a request for an item to be delivered. At least one of the first type of robot operates to identify the item and to move the item to an intermediate location and to generate a request to at least one of the second type of robot. At least one of the second type of robot operates to move the item from the intermediate location to a new location.

Abstract:

Computing systems, database systems, and related methods are provided for supporting dynamic resources. One exemplary method involves a resource server identifying a reference to an external source within a resource obtained from a resource database, retrieving data residing at the external source from a network using the reference, and generating a graphical representation of the resource at a client device communicatively coupled to the network. The graphical representation of the resource includes a graphical representation of the retrieved data at a location within the graphical representation of the resource corresponding to a location of the reference within the resource.
