Patents by Inventor Albert Groz

Albert Groz has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11654552
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for training a robot. The method commences with collecting, by the robot, sensor data from a plurality of sensors of the robot. The sensor data may be related to a task being performed by the robot based on an artificial intelligence (AI) model. The method may further include determining, based on the sensor data and the AI model, that a probability of completing the task is below a threshold. The method may continue with sending a request for operator assistance to a remote computing device and receiving, in response to sending the request, teleoperation data from the remote computing device. The method may further include causing the robot to execute the task based on the teleoperation data. The method may continue with generating training data based on the sensor data and results of execution of the task for updating the AI model.

  • Patent number: 9811074
    Abstract: A disclosed system includes a physically plausible virtual runtime environment to simulate a real-life environment for a simulated robot and a test planning and testing component to define a robotic task and generate virtual test cases for the robotic task. The test planning and testing component is further operable to generate virtual test cases for the robotic task, determine a control strategy for executing the virtual test cases, and create the physics-based simulated environment. The system further includes a robot controller operable to execute the virtual test cases in parallel in the physics-based simulated environment, measure a success of the execution, and store training and validation data to a historical database to train a machine learning algorithm. The robot controller may continuously execute the virtual test cases and use the machine learning algorithm to adjust parameters of the control strategy until optimal test cases are determined.

  • Patent number: 9671777
    Abstract: A disclosed system includes a physically plausible virtual runtime environment to simulate a real-life environment for the simulated robot and a test planning and testing component operable to receive task data based used to create a plurality of plausible tests for at least one robot control program. The plurality of plausible tests is designed to execute at least one task associated with the task data. The test planning and testing component is further operable to define test parameters for each of the plurality of plausible tests. The system further includes a robot controller operable to execute the plurality of plausible tests substantially simultaneously on the simulated robot, analyze results of the execution to select an optimized robot control program from the at least one robot control program, and based on the analysis, selectively optimize the test associated with the optimized robot control program.
