US Patent Issued to AUTODESK on July 22 for "Techniques for force and torque-guided robotic assembly" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,365,086, issued on July 22, was assigned to AUTODESK INC. (San Francisco).

"Techniques for force and torque-guided robotic assembly" was invented by Jieliang Luo (San Bruno, Calif.) and Hui Li (San Rafael, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques are disclosed for training and applying machine learning models to control robotic assembly. In some embodiments, force and torque measurements are input into a machine learning model that includes a memory layer that introduces recurrency. The machine learning model is trained, via reinforcement learning in a robot-agnostic environment, to generate actions for achieving an assembly task...
