Patents by Inventor Luke HANSEN

Luke HANSEN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12253857
    Abstract: A robotic system coordinates collision-free self-storage of a robot. The robotic system initiates and performs a controlled collapse of the robot into a pre-defined compact geometry that permits self-storage in a confined, compact area when not in use. The system also coordinates collision-free self-deployments of the robot into a deployed geometry suitable for performing autonomous tasks outside of the compact storage area. The system includes a collapsible robot configured to extend and retract at least one robotic arm to perform tasks above a worksurface, a powered docking station positioned below the worksurface and including a power source interface to electrically couple the collapsible robot to a power source, and control circuitry for coordinating movements of the collapsible robot—such as collision-free self-collapse, collision-free self-deployments, and collision-free ingress and egress of the robot into and out of the compact storage area.

  • Publication number: 20220152825
    Abstract: In accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the invention, a system and method are provided for manipulation and movement of objects. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the system includes a robotic arm that grabs and manipulates objects along a collision-free path. The objects can be in a randomly arranged pile or in an orderly arranged location. In accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the invention, the objects are moved from an orderly location to a storage location.
