Application: Controlling a robot to remedy a problem (Patent ID: US20230390922A1)
The patent filed by Northrop Grumman Corp describes a system for controlling robot operations using a robot intelligence engine that receives data characterizing robot tasks executed in a highly immersive virtual environment (HIVE) and sensor data from a problem-detecting robot in the operational environment. The engine then searches for tasks to remedy detected problems, simulates their success likelihood, and selects a task for a deployed robot to execute. The system can prioritize tasks, select suitable robots based on proximity and criticality, and even divide tasks among multiple robots.
The patent also includes claims for a system with a robot intelligence engine, a non-transitory machine-readable medium with instructions for the engine, and a method involving receiving HIVE data, sensor data, identifying tasks to remedy problems, simulating success likelihood, selecting tasks for deployed robots, and executing the selected tasks. The method can be used in extraterrestrial environments, prioritize tasks, and select suitable robots based on proximity and criticality. The system and method aim to efficiently address problems detected by robots in operational environments by leveraging data from virtual environments and sensor inputs.
