  • Patent number: 11372422
    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for determining locations of a plurality of markers on a vehicle in three-dimensional space. The markers may be configured as optical or radio markers, where a sensor determines the locations of each of the plurality of markers, or a shape formed by the markers collectively. The locations of each of the plurality of markers or shape is then compared to a template to determine a match. The match identifies a vehicle having vehicle data that includes locations of vehicle components and/or vehicle performance characteristics. The vehicle data is then used to generate control signals for controlling a control device that may be associated with a robotic apparatus, a vehicle computer system and/or drone operating system.

  • Publication number: 20220067570
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes storing a set of training data. One or more machine learning models are trained based on the set of training data. The method also includes receiving, from a computing device, a request to access the set of training data. The method further includes determining whether the computing device is allowed to access the set of training data. In response to determining that the computing device is allowed to access the set of training data, the method includes transmitting a training token to the computing device. The training token grants a training environment with access to the set of training data for a period of time.
