This invention describes a system that helps robots or other automated machines figure out what to do next. It uses artificial intelligence, specifically neural networks, to look at where things are and what state they're in, often by analyzing images. Based on this information and what it has done before, the system decides the next small step for the machine, sometimes even telling it to move objects.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced vision models and foundation models. These advancements could significantly simplify the development of the neural networks and image processing required to infer sub-tasks and generate state information.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
