US Patent Issued to Summer Robotics on Dec. 2 for "Perceiving objects based on sensing surfaces and sensing surface motion" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 2 -- United States Patent no. 12,487,359, issued on Dec. 2, was assigned to Summer Robotics Inc. (Campbell, Calif.).

"Perceiving objects based on sensing surfaces and sensing surface motion" was invented by Schuyler Alexander Cullen (Santa Clara, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Embodiments are directed to perceiving surfaces and objects. Trajectories may be generated based on a continuous stream of sensor events such that each trajectory may be a parametric representation of a curve segment. The trajectories may be employed to determine the surfaces. The trajectories may be provided to a modeling engine to execute one or more actions based on the trajectories and t...
