  • Object management display
    Patent number: 11402852
    Abstract: A graphical user interface allowing one or more users to rapidly perceive and respond to varying operational states. Glyphs depicting differing levels of detail are provided for a top-level manager versus a lower-level operator. As applied to the vehicle paradigm, each individual glyph presents information as to the vehicle's current assigned task, mode, state, status, and its progress in completing that task. Each display shows multiple glyphs representing multiple vehicles. A vehicle in need of attention rises in the depiction whereas a vehicle not needing attention remains in a low position.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 20, 2020
    Date of Patent: August 2, 2022
    Assignee: Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition, Inc.
    Inventors: Micael Vignati, Larry Bunch, Jeffrey M. Bradshaw, Matt Johnson

  • Policy Governed Software Agent System and Method of Operation
    Publication number: 20190068451
    Abstract: A system and method for deploying software agents in a policy-governed environment. The use of over-arching policies to control the actions and interactions of the software agents preserves desirable agent autonomy without allowing unwanted and potentially unpredictable (or at least difficult-to-predict) agent behavior. The system allows the agents to be deployed in a high-assurance environment.
