Systems for testing computing devices of a medical records system using a simulated environment are provided. The simulated environment is generated by identifying transaction traffic over the network, where the transaction traffic comprises messages of different transaction types. A computing device is configured to output a simulated status by extrapolating a performance of the computing devices upon receiving a series of messages indicating the transaction types. The output of the computing device may indicate an error in the simulated environment where the performance of a computing device exceeds a performance threshold. Based on the error indication, transaction traffic can be diverted from the computing device to another computing device having performance capacity.

Method and system for narrow passage path sampling based on levy flight is disclosed. The disclosed technique is an improvisation of Random Walk to Surface (RWS), wherein, instead of performing a random walk, the disclosed technique utilizes levy flight mechanism to identify samples in narrow passages (on the obstacle boundaries). The disclosed technique for identification of narrow passages sampling points in the narrow passage is based on several techniques that include random uniform sampling technique, a levy flight function (step size) and a collision detection technique. Moreover, in addition to identification of narrow passages sampling points, the disclosed technique also performs an additional check to ensure that the identified narrow passages sampling points are present in the narrow passage based on a levy flight bridge sampler technique.

This disclosure relates generally to method and system to detect and estimate dynamic obstacles using Red Green Blue-Depth RGB-D sensors for robot navigation. Obstacle detection and tracking tasks with efficient processing of depth images becomes complex in dynamic and cluttered environments. The method detects one or more obstacles being identified in the one or more depth images in two dimensional space using the depth map captured using a Red Green Blue-Depth RGB-D sensor configured to a mobile robot. Further, a restricted v-depth map is computed between specified columns taken from the width of each dynamic obstacle of the u-depth map and within the depth range derived from the u-depth map. The one or more dynamic obstacles are tracked by matching segments of subsequent depth images to predict future position in the region of the monitoring environment by computing a closeness signature. The method evaluates correctness with open data sequence and real world data.

The disclosure relates to motion planning for autonomous vehicles to find a contiguous path to travel from a source to a destination in a real time environment. But, motion planning suffers due to dimensionality problem during planning a path in high dimensional configuration space. Conventional a priori path planning techniques utilize deterministic selection of a seed and there is a challenge in providing resolution completeness, especially in a cluttered environment. Here, the resolution problem associated with the cluttered environment, is rectified by utilizing random seed generation technique. A convex region is grown around each seed and a set of hyperplanes are generated around each convex region. A contiguous polytope is created by utilizing the set of hyperplanes associated with each convex region. Further, an undirected graph is created based on a plurality of polytope points associated with the contiguous polytope and a shortest path in the graph is computed.

This disclosure relates generally to real-time path planning. Planning amidst obstacles in a cluttered indoor environment is a difficult task for a robotic agent. The disclosed method provides semidefinite programming induced free-space based path planning. Free-space is generated by an efficient environment grid resolution independent seeding technique. In the proposed resolution independent seeding technique, initial position of the robotic agent is considered as the first seed. For subsequent seeding, information of the expanded earlier seeds are employed intelligently. This process is followed unto a finite sequence, which naturally results in a contiguous navigable convex free-space. This contiguous navigable convex free-space is employed to create an undirected graph, which is then used for path planning. Path planning is done locally by evaluating the subgoal with respect to a final goal. Local planning cumulatively assists the planner to attain the final goal.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods to eliminate (or filter) drift for dynamics model based localization of multirotors. The dynamics equations require drag modelling, which is dependent on velocity, to generate vehicles' acceleration along the body axis. The present disclosure considers the drag contribution, at velocity level, as a low frequency component. Incorrect or nonmodelling of this low frequency component leads to drift at velocity level. This drift can then be removed through a high pass filter to obtain drift free velocity data for pose estimation and better localization thereof.

Robots are used extensively in different applications so as to perform specific tasks. However, the robots are required to move around in a location where they are present, so as to perform the tasks. For path planning, free space identification is performed by the robots during which obstacles are detected and free space is identified. However, the existing systems for path planning struggle to identify free space in cluttered environments. The disclosure herein generally relates to robotic path planning, and, more particularly, to a method and system for free space detection in a cluttered environment for robotic path planning. The system inscribes obstacles in bounding boxes and all unit grids inscribed by the bounding boxes are considered as occupied. Further, by seeding the occupancy grid map, the system identifies unified segments and corresponding seeds. Further a convex expansion is executed in the occupancy grid map to detect the free space.

Robotic vision-based framework wherein an on-board camera device is used for scale estimation. Unlike conventional scale estimation methods that require inputs from more than one or more sensors, implementations include a system and method to estimate scale online solely, without any other sensor, for monocular SLAM by using multirotor dynamics model in an extended Kalman filter framework. This approach improves over convention scale estimation methods which require information from some other sensors or knowledge of physical dimension of an object within the camera view. An arbitrary scaled position and an Euler angle of a multirotor are estimated from vision SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) technique. Further, dynamically integrating, computed acceleration to estimate a metric position. A scale factor and a parameter associated with the multirotor dynamics model is obtained by comparing the estimated metric position with the estimated arbitrary position.
