Patent number: 12000111Abstract: An excavation vehicle capable of autonomously actuating an excavation tool or navigating an excavation vehicle to perform an excavation routine within an excavation site is described herein. Sensors mounted to the excavation vehicle and the excavation tool produce signals representative of a position and orientation of the corresponding joint relative on the excavation vehicle relative to the excavation site, a position and orientation of the excavation vehicle relative to the excavation site, and one or more features of the excavation site based on the position of the excavation vehicle within the excavation site. A set of solenoids are configured to couple to corresponding hydraulic valves of the excavation tool to actuate the valve. A controller produces actuating signals to control the joints of the excavation tool to autonomously perform the excavation routine based on the signals produced by the sensors.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2022Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: BUILT ROBOTICS INC.Inventors: Noah Austen Ready-Campbell, Andrew Xiao Liang, Christian John Wawrzonek, Gaurav Jitendra Kikani, James Alan Emerick, Lucas Allen Bruder, Ammar Idris Kothari

Patent number: 11941096Abstract: A system is disclosed for identifying a user based on the classification of user characteristic data. An identity verification system receives a request from a requesting target user for access to an operational context and characteristic data describing actions of the requesting target user. The identity verification system inputs the characteristic data to an identity confidence model to determine an identity confidence value describes a likelihood that an identity of the requesting target user matches an authenticating identity and determines a false match rate and false non-match rate, which represent a performance of the identity confidence model. The identity verification system determines a match probability for the requesting target user by adjusting the identity confidence value based on the determined false match rate and false non-match rate and grants the requesting target user access to the operational context if match probability is greater than the operational security threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: TruU, Inc.Inventors: Lucas Allen Budman, Amitabh Agrawal, Andrew Weber Spott, Michael Ross Graf

Publication number: 20240062604Abstract: An intention detection mechanism detects a target user accessing an operational context and accesses sensor data collected by a plurality of sensors encoding signals describing one or more characteristics of the target user and surroundings of the target user. The intention detection mechanism converts the accessed sensor data into a multi-channel sensor data time series, where each channel represents a characteristic of the target user. The intention detection mechanism compares the sensor data time series to a multi-channel intentionality template to determine whether the sensor data time series contains the multi-channel intentionality template. The multi-channel intentionality template describes characteristics indicative of an intent of a target user accessing the operational context. If the sensor data time series contains the multi-channel intentionality template, the intention detection mechanism communicates a signal confirming that the target user intended to access to the operational context.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: David Brett Pasirstein, Jonathan Welch, Andrew Weber Spott, Lucas Allen Budman, Amitabh Agrawal, Niles William Hacking

Patent number: 11861947Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for identifying a user based on the classification of user movement data. An identity verification system receives a sequence of motion data from a mobile device operated by a target user. From the sequences of motion data, the identity verification system identifies a plurality of identity blocks representing different movements performed by the target user and encodes a set of signature sequences from each identity block into a feature vector. Each feature vector is input to a confidence model to output an identity confidence value for an identity block. An identity confidence value describes a confidence that the movement in the identity block was performed by the target user. The identity confidence value is compared to an operational security threshold and if identity confidence value is above the threshold, the target user is granted access to an operational context.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: TruU, Inc.Inventors: Lucas Allen Budman, Amitabh Agrawal, Andrew Weber Spott, Michael Ross Graf

Publication number: 20230115246Abstract: An identity verification system is disclosed for identifying a user based on the classification of user characteristic data. The identity verification system receives a request for access to an operational context that comprises authentication credentials representing an identity of a requesting target user. The system authenticates the identity of the requesting target user by determining an identity confidence value describing a likelihood that an identity of the requesting target user matches the identity represented by the authentication credentials. The system determines a proximity of the requesting target user to the operational context by determining a distance between a location of the requesting computing device and a location of an authenticating computing device operated by the requesting target user. The system grants the request from the requesting target user for access to the operational context if the requesting target user is within a threshold proximity of the operational context.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Lucas Allen Budman, Amitabh Agrawal, David Brett Pasirstein, Joseph Robert Carli
