Publication number: 20240094683Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein mitigate stochasticity when controlling a mechanical system with artificial intelligence (AI) agents. In some configurations, AI agents are created using data generated by a machine learning model. Stochasticity is segmented temporally into near term and long term, and different strategies are used to address stochasticity in the different timeframes. For example, long term stochasticity may be addressed with changes to the reward function used to train the model. Short term stochasticity may be addressed by applying a margin to the output of an AI agent. Example margins include window averaging, clamps, and statistical process control bounds. In one configuration, AI agents are regression brains that are generated from setpoints inferred by the model from environmental states. The limitations inherent to fitting a regression line to this data may result in some predicted setpoints being outside of an allowed range.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Kingsuk MAITRA, Brendan Lee BRYANT, Chris Allen PREMOE, Kence ANDERSON

Publication number: 20230297071Abstract: A method for fabricating a wildlife reproduction includes placing a reference device relative to a wildlife subject. The reference device pertains to scale and chromaticity coordinates to provide an accurate size and color reference for fabricating the wildlife reproduction of the wildlife subject. The wildlife subject is photographed in combination with the reference device at one or more predefined locations to produce two dimensional photographic image data. The two dimensional image data is converted to a three dimensional image file using photogrammetry. A value of the principal dimension of the wildlife subject is determined using the reference device. Dimensions of at least one other feature of the wildlife subject are calculated from the principal dimension to modify a three-dimensional image file of a selected wildlife subject to correspond to the wildlife subject. A three dimensional wildlife reproduction is fabricated from the modified three-dimensional image file of the selected wildlife subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventor: Chris Lee Cammack
