Nvidia Patents a System That Blends Real Camera Feeds With Digital Twin Simulations
What if a self-driving car or robot could see the world through two lenses at once — one real, one simulated —…
Nvidia Patents a Self-Correcting Depth Image Pipeline for Stereo ML Systems
Stereo cameras are everywhere in robotics and autonomous vehicles — but their depth estimates can go badly wrong in glossy, reflective, or…
Samsung Patents a Dual-Space Neural Network for Robot Path Planning
Most robot navigation systems struggle when obstacles cluster in awkward configurations. Samsung's new patent takes a geometric detour — literally — by…
Nvidia Patents a Layer-Wise Method to Compress Vision-Language Models
Training a powerful vision-language model takes enormous compute — but deploying one on a robot, a car, or a modest GPU is…
Nvidia Patents a System That Teaches Robots to Learn From Every Failure
Every time a robot gets stuck and a human has to step in, that intervention is usually lost data — a missed…
Intel Patents a Way to Keep Robots from Drifting Off Course
Even the best robot sensors drift — Intel's new patent describes a way to fuse two sensors together, weighting one's error signal…
Intel Patents an AI That Teaches Robots to Imagine What's Around the Corner
Robots are usually blind to whatever their camera isn't directly pointed at — Intel's new patent uses the same AI image-filling tech…
Samsung Patents a Pivoting Wheel-Link System for Stable Robots
Keeping a robot upright on a bumpy floor is harder than it sounds. Samsung's new patent describes a mechanical linkage system that…
