Automated inspection

This invention describes an automated system that inspects manufactured items using cameras and a pre-set plan. It automatically finds multiple flaws in the items. Crucially, after finding defects, the system then automatically adjusts its own inspection process to improve how it works.

Why it matters: The core challenge of a self-modifying inspection process was significant in 2021. Since then, advancements in adaptive AI and machine learning for computer vision have made such dynamic system adjustments more practical and robust, potentially simplifying the development of the feedback loop.
