Patents by Inventor Sofya Pugach

Sofya Pugach 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: 12415524
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing kinematic and contextual comfort scores to autonomous vehicle rides. In particular, systems and methods are provided to automatically identify driving events such as unusual acceleration, braking, and steering events, and determine the severity of identified events. Some example events include a hard braking event, a swerve event, and a quick acceleration event. Automatic detection of such events allows for engineering feedback to autonomous vehicles and provides a tool for capturing passenger satisfaction and/or reactions with regard to specific events.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12103559
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides solutions for generating synthetic 3D environments, In some aspects, the disclosed technology includes a process of collecting sensor data corresponding with a three-dimensional (3D) space; identifying objects in the sensor data; filtering objects for inclusion in the synthetic map based on (1) a corresponding influence score for each of the one or more of the objects and (2) a corresponding duration of presence of each of the objects in the sensor data; selecting one or more of the objects based on the filtering, wherein the corresponding influence score of each of the one or more of the objects is greater than a first threshold and the corresponding duration of presence of each of the one or more of the objects is greater than a second threshold; and generating the synthetic map including a 3D rendering of the one or more of the objects selected.
