  • Restarting operations for recovery processes in autonomous systems
    Patent number: 12479475
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for facilitating restarting operations for recovery processes in autonomous systems. In some aspects, an embodiment includes determining that an autonomous vehicle (AV) is experiencing a failure condition; identifying a plurality of restart operations to apply to one or more components of the AV contributing to the failure condition; prior to applying a restart operation of the plurality of restart operations, determining that safety conditions corresponding to the restart operation are satisfied; and applying the plurality of restart operations to the AV in accordance with an increasing order of disruptiveness of each of the restart operations to operations of the AV.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 19, 2023
    Date of Patent: November 25, 2025

  • Dynamically representing a changing environment over a communications channel
    Patent number: 11487350
    Abstract: In accordance with certain implementations of the present approach, a reduced, element-by-element, data set is transmitted between a robot having a sensor suite and a control system remote from the robot that is configured to display a representation of the environment local to the robot. Such a scheme may be useful in allowing a human operator remote from the robot to perform an inspection using the robot while the robot is on-site with an asset and the operator is off-site. In accordance with the present approach, an accurate representation of the environment in which the robot is situated is provided for the operator to interact with.
