David Ryan ERICKSON 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: 9579797
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for operating various robotic systems. The methods and systems involve applications of platforms that enable multiple-input teleoperation and a high degree of immersiveness for the user. The robotic systems may include multiple arms for manipulators and retrieving information from the environment and/or the robotic system. The robotic methods may include control modification modules for detecting that an operation of a robotic device based on the control commands fails to comply with one or more operational parameters; identifying the non-compliant control command; and generating a modifier for the secondary device to adjust the non-compliant control command to comply with the set of operational parameters.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 10, 2015
    Date of Patent: February 28, 2017
    Assignee: QUANSER CONSULTING INC.
    Inventors: Agop Jean Georges Apkarian, Amir Haddadi, Gilbert Ming Yeung Lai, Hervé Jean-Pierre Lacheray, Paul Karam, David Ryan Erickson
