Robotics & Autonomy
NVIDIA's June 2026 perception grant fuses multiple views of LiDAR through a neural network. Its CPC stack reveals which side of the sensor war it's arming.
Robotics & Autonomy
Torc Robotics' June 2026 grant calibrates a Doppler LiDAR while the truck drives. The claim is a deep commitment to velocity-sensing hardware — and to one side of the autonomy split.
Robotics & Autonomy
NVIDIA's June 2026 grant estimates how much compute safe driving needs, then prioritizes it. Buried in the CPC is the failure mode it's really designed around.
Robotics & Autonomy
A June 2026 Trifo patent on simultaneous localization and mapping draws its scope around platform-agnostic operation. The G05D and G06T classes show how.
Robotics & Autonomy
A June 2026 NVIDIA grant creates lane lines for high-definition maps. Building the map is the camp choice — and the claim's CPC stack makes it explicit.
Robotics & Autonomy
A June 2026 grant from NASA sits squarely in the manipulation-control core. The two B25J subclasses it carries say exactly what kind of grasping it protects.
Robotics & Autonomy
A single-inventor June 2026 Zoox grant on object detection carries just three CPC codes. The narrow classification is the claim-scope story.
Robotics & Autonomy
A June 2026 Torc grant uses kinematic models to label LiDAR point clouds. The unglamorous data-labeling layer is where a surprising amount of autonomy IP now lives.
Robotics & Autonomy
A June 2026 Robust AI patent — with Rodney Brooks among the inventors — claims a mobile robot built to amplify a human worker. Its three CPC codes tell the strategy.
Robotics & Autonomy
Before the humanoid gold rush, Boston Dynamics granted itself a foundational estimation-and-control method. Newer balance claims have to file around it.
Robotics & Autonomy
Most fresh robotics IP is migrating into control software. Elevate's June 2026 arm patent stays mechanical, and its CPC mix shows a different kind of moat.
Robotics & Autonomy
Figure's May 2026 grant claims a humanoid that turns natural-language goals into walking actions. The claim language is narrower — and more revealing — than the demo.
