Data Flow Logic for Providing Artificial Intelligence Agents that Automate Multimodal Software Usage
Publication number: 20250299074Abstract: A system for providing artificial intelligence agents that automate software usage includes training servers configured to train agents during training, production servers configured to execute the trained agents during inference, a plurality of training datasets, and data flow logic. The data flow logic is configured to, provide, during the training, the agents and the plurality of training datasets to the training servers to cause the training servers to train the agents on the plurality of training datasets and thereby produce the trained agents, configure the production servers with the trained agents for use during the inference, provide, during the inference, prompts issued by clients to the production servers to cause the production servers to translate the prompts into agent calls to the trained agents that in turn cause the trained agents to generate outputs that are responsive to the prompts, and make the outputs available to the clients.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2024Publication date: September 25, 2025Applicant: Anthropic, PBCInventors: Shaya Zarkesh, Lina Lukyantseva, Rohan BAVISHI, David LUAN, Zach Brock, Yufeng Zhou, Inigo Beitia Arevalo, Kadhir Manickam, Kyle VIGEN, James Lu, Bryan Schmidt, Bryan Silverthorn, Armaan Goel, Kavya Ravi Shankar, Phillip Norman, Alexander Jaffe, Bassil Shama, Erich ELSEN, Curtis HAWTHORNE, Sagnak Tasirlar, David Abrahams, Marxell Nye, Augustus Odena, Vibhaa Sivaraman, Adam Hoff, Teddy Rothschild, Deepak MOPARTHI, Jacob van Gogh, Claire Pajot, Matt Elkherj, Warut Vijitbenjaronk, Arushi SOMANI, Johnny Lee, Joe Gershenson, Jordyn Shuell, Danielle Perszyk -

Patent number: 12138810Abstract: Utilization of user interface inputs, from remote client devices, in controlling robot(s) in an environment. Implementations relate to generating training instances based on object manipulation parameters, defined by instances of user interface input(s), and training machine learning model(s) to predict the object manipulation parameter(s). Those implementations can subsequently utilize the trained machine learning model(s) to reduce a quantity of instances that input(s) from remote client device(s) are solicited in performing a given set of robotic manipulations and/or to reduce the extent of input(s) from remote client device(s) in performing a given set of robotic operations. Implementations are additionally or alternatively related to mitigating idle time of robot(s) through the utilization of vision data that captures object(s), to be manipulated by a robot, prior to the object(s) being transported to a robot workspace within which the robot can reach and manipulate the object.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2023Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Johnny Lee, Stefan Welker

Patent number: 11946218Abstract: A robotics-assisted foundation installation system is provided in which data reporting the X, Y, and Z positions of foundation column tops are sent from a total surveying station to a grid control system. The grid control system receives the data and associates specific data with specific columns in an array—the “grid.” The grid control system compares the actual positions of the columns in the grid to target positions that were determined based on the requirements of the structure to be supported. After determining differences between the actual positions and the target positions, the grid control system sends instructions to column positioning tools associated with the individual columns. Actuators in a column positioning tool are directed by the grid control system to adjust the position of the associated column. Once the live streamed data confirms that each column is in the proper position, the columns are fixed in place.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: SITU-Places Inc.Inventors: Stephen W. Jaycox, Quentin Topping, Michael Goldin, Johnny Lee
