This invention describes a system where a robot equipped with a camera captures images of objects it encounters. The system then automatically analyzes these images to identify what kind of asset each object is, such as a piece of furniture or equipment. This information is used to update a digital map of the physical space, all without requiring human involvement.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of highly performant deep learning models. Today, advanced computer vision and AI classification algorithms are significantly more powerful and accessible, making the core classification operation much more robust and efficient.
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.
