A convertible robot including a plurality of modules connected one to another by one of a plurality of joints, wherein the plurality of modules has a first end and a second end that is adapted to allow for removable attachment to the first end. The convertible robot also includes a coupling that reversibly converts the plurality of modules between one configuration and at least one other configuration. One configuration is a snake-arm configuration in which the plurality of modules are in an elongated arrangement. Another configuration is a drone configuration in which the first and second ends of the plurality of modules are attached and in a loop-shaped arrangement.

An approach for routing one or more packages and delivering the one or more packages to one or more autonomous vehicles is disclosed. The approach receives shipment request from the one or more vendors, receives package status (e.g., status that the one or more packages is ready to be routed, dimension and weight of the one or more packages) of the one or more packages from the one or more vendors, receives vehicle status (e.g., size and available storage space in the vehicles, location and transit time of the vehicles) from the one or more autonomous vehicles. The approach receives the status of the delivery units (e.g., available automated delivery unit, current path and time of completion). The approach determines an optimal routing path for the one or more packages based on the shipment request, package status and vehicle status and outputs the optimal routing path.

Autonomous loading and unloading of packages relating to a vehicle

The present specification describes a computer-implemented method. According to the method, an object within a range of vision of a user is identified via a capture device on a wearable augmented reality (AR) system worn by the user. A user interaction with an identified object within the range of vision of the user is monitored. A notification related to the identified object is generated and presented on a display device of the wearable AR system.

Augmented reality object interaction and notification

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for generating a visualization of data points returned in response to a query based on attributes of a display device and display screen to render the visualization. A determination is made of inputs comprising area dimensions of the display screen and capabilities of the display device to render data points retrieved in response to a query. The inputs and the data points are provided to a visualization engine to output a type of visual presentation for the data points, a size of the visual presentation to render on the display screen, and a level of detail to aggregate the data points to render on the display screen. A visualization is generated to render on the display screen the data points in the type of visual presentation according to the size of the visual presentation and with the level of detail.

Provided are techniques for analyzing recordings for data to be protected and identifying recipients and alerts. A recording is stored in temporary storage. Data to be protected about a situation is identified in the recording. One or more recipients are identified based on the data to be protected about the situation. One or more alerts for the one or more recipients are identified based on the data to be protected about the situation. The one or more alerts are sent to the one or more recipients along with the recording. The recording is deleted from the temporary storage.

Analyzing recordings for data to be protected and identifying recipients and alerts

A computer system processes speech. Speech of a user is received from an audio sensor. An interruption in the speech of the user is determined and the speech of the user is analyzed to determine a context of the speech. One or more language data sources are analyzed to generate a suggestion corresponding to the interruption and based on the context of the speech. The suggestion is presented to the user. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for prompting a user in substantially the same manner described above.
