  • SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR MULTI-SENSOR ROBOTIC OPERATION
    Publication number: 20250129877
    Abstract: Robotic systems and associated methods are described herein. The robotic system may collect measurements from various sensors corresponding to motion of the robotic system, the surrounding environment of the robotic system, or both. The robotic system may generate measurement data based on the collected measurements. Measurements from a particular sensor may be processed in conjunction with different sensors of the robotic system, which may facilitate more accurate or more useful measurement data. The systems and methods of the present disclosure enable the detection, labeling, and locating of features in real time or near real time using the robotic system with little or no reliance on human interaction to detect and map the features. The disclosure provides enhanced accuracy and efficiency as it enhances the functionality and reduces the reliance on human detection of features.

  • NEURAL DIALOGUE SYSTEM FOR SECURITY POSTURE MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20250131200
    Abstract: A neural dialogue system has been designed to present a conversational user interface for managing security posture of an organization. The neural dialogue system determines intent and extracts entity names from a user input. The neural dialogue system grounds the entity names to an organizational context and maps the intent to a defined functionality related to security posture management for intent realization. Some of these defined functions involve editing the ordered ruleset. When realization of an intent involves editing the ordered ruleset, the neural dialogue system determines various ruleset command sequences that implement the ruleset editing and corresponding impacts on the ordered ruleset (e.g., creation of ruleset anomalies). The dialogue system collects the information retrieved based on the intent and grounded entities, including any ruleset impact assessment, and generates a response.

  • METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR IDENTIFYING SPLIT ELECTRONIC DATA RECORDS
    Publication number: 20250130989
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product provide identification of split electronic records, and temporarily preventing electronic records from being transmitted. Electronic records may be split by a separate system for transmission to various systems and are identified and reconciled. Certain electronic records may be temporarily prevented from being transmitted, to allow for review and/or modification prior to further processing. New electronic records that are unmatched to original electronic records, as well as rejected electronic records, can therefore be reduced, and the related systems are improved accordingly.
