Publication number: 20250222920Abstract: An over actuated system capable of controlling wheel parameters, such as speed (e.g., by torque and braking), steering angles, caster angles, camber angles, and toe angles, of wheels in an associated vehicle. The system may determine the associated vehicle is in a rollover state and adjust wheel parameters to prevent vehicle rollover. Additionally, the system may determine a driving state and dynamically adjust wheel parameters to optimize driving, including, for example, cornering and parking. Such a system may also dynamically detect wheel misalignment and provide alignment and/or corrective driving solutions. Further, by utilizing degenerate solutions for driving, the system may also estimate tire-surface parameterization data for various road surfaces and make such estimates available for other vehicles via a network.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2025Publication date: July 10, 2025Applicant: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Funke, Johannes Edren, Ali Javidan, Jacob Lee Askeland, Vasumathi Raman

Patent number: 12254343Abstract: A controller may control input to, output from, and execution of a component of a data-processing pipeline via an interface. The interface facilitates replacing the component with a different and/or updated component and/or changing a type of controller that controls the component via the interface. For example, the different types of controllers may facilitate communication between components controlled by other controllers (and/or that aren't controlled by a controller), controllers that generate reproducibility data so that component behavior may be reproduced, controllers that reproduce component behavior, and/or controllers that tune performance of the data-processing pipeline, e.g., by varying input, output, and execution of respective component(s).Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2018Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Jacob Lee Askeland, Ryan Martin Cahoon, Christopher Yeates Brown

Patent number: 12214978Abstract: In various embodiments, an automated platform may autonomously move around a site, loading dock, dock leveler, and/or trailer to transport goods. In one or more embodiments, the automated platform may be loaded with goods and, once loaded, navigate a path from a loading area onto a trailer autonomously. In some embodiments, once the automated platform is loaded onto the trailer, the automated platform may utilize hydraulics to extend legs to the ground with enough force so that the automated platform wheels are not touching the ground in the trailer, which stabilizes the automated platform while it is being hauled to a different site. In at least one embodiment, once the trailer is at the different site, the automated platform may autonomously unload itself out of the trailer and navigate over a dock leveler, through the loading dock, and to an unloading area.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2021Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: SLIP ROBOTICS INC.Inventors: Christopher Rand Smith, Dennis Jacob Lee Siedlak, John Martin Jakomin
