In one embodiment of the present invention there is provided a VPN Gateway and a method for determining whether a data packet should be processed by a first or second processor within a VPN gateway, wherein the VPN gateway comprises: a first input, wherein the first input is configured to receive data packets from a public network; a second input, wherein the second input is configured to receive data packets from a private network; a first data packet processor, wherein the first data packet processor is coupled to the first and second inputs; a second data packet processor, wherein the second data packet processor is coupled to the first and second inputs; an analyser, wherein the analyser is coupled to the first and second inputs, a first output, wherein the first output is coupled to the first and second packet processors; a second output, wherein the second output is coupled to the first and second packet processors; wherein the analyser is configured to analyse all the incoming data packets from the first and second inputs and determine, based on a predetermined set of rules, whether the data packets should be processed by the first packet processor or the second packet processor, and transmit the received data packet to the first packet processor or the second packet processor based on that determination; wherein the first and second packet processors are configured to process the transmitted data packets and transmit the processed data packets to the first and second outputs; and wherein the first output is configured to output processed data packets to the public network and the second output is configured to output processed data packets to the private network.

A submersible bundle cutter (600) for cutting a subsea composite pipeline assembly having a first carrier pipe extending in a longitudinal direction (116) , the bundle cutter(600) comprising: a frame body (302) configured to interface with a submersible vehicle and/or an umbilical cable; a bundle cutting mechanism (504) coupled to the frame body configured to cut a first window extending in the longitudinal direction.

A control system deploys a virtual safety bubble for autonomous operation of a construction vehicle in a worksite. The control system obtains a work schedule for the construction vehicle to perform one construction action. The control system identifies one or more objects to be interacted with by the construction vehicle while performing the one construction action. The control system deploys a virtual safety bubble for the construction vehicle based on the one construction action. Breach of the virtual safety bubble triggers remedial actions; however, the virtual safety bubble permits breach by the one or more identified objects during the construction action. The control system detects breach of the virtual safety bubble by the one or more identified objects during the construction action. Responsive to the breach of the virtual safety bubble by the one or more identified objects during the construction action, the control system withholds the remedial actions.

A construction vehicle may move (510) along a route in a construction environment towards a portion of the construction environment. The construction vehicle may access an image (520) of the portion of the construction environment in front of the construction vehicle. The construction vehicle may apply a rut identification model (530) to the image, where the rut identification model is configured to identify a rut in the portion of the construction environment using pixels of the image. The construction vehicle may, subsequent to identifying the rut in the portion of the construction environment, navigate the construction vehicle (540) along the route based on the identified rut.

An autonomous mowing vehicle leverages a plurality of virtual safety bubbles and a virtual buffer around an object to avoid collisions between the object and the vehicle. The vehicle has a camera system comprising stereoscopic pairs of cameras positioned around the vehicle, a mowing deck comprising one or more motorized blades for mowing plants in the environment, and a control system. The control system is configured to: capture image data from a camera system of an autonomous mowing vehicle; detect at least one object in an environment surrounding the autonomous mowing vehicle based on the image data; generate a virtual buffer for the object, the virtual buffer positioned around the object; generate a plurality of virtual safety bubbles around the autonomous mowing vehicle based on a configuration of the autonomous mowing vehicle; and perform autonomous operation of the mowing vehicle to perform, via at least the mowing deck, one or more landscaping actions in the environment while evading breach of the plurality of virtual safety bubbles by the virtual buffer of the object.

A vehicle moves through a landscaping environment and performs one or more landscaping actions in the environment. A master coordinator associated with the landscaping environment updates a global state of the landscaping environment based on the performed landscaping actions. The master coordinator may determine a plan of landscaping actions for machines in the environment using a generative language model and send instruction to perform the landscaping actions or capture data from an associated viewpoint based on the global state to the machines. Each machine may have a local coordinator that determines its local state based on sensor data and may alter actions within alteration constraints provided by the master coordinator. The master coordinator receives local states from the machines over time, updates the global state accordingly, and sends instructions to the one or more machines based on the updated global state.
