Dr. Komsuoglu recevies patent US2011/0320042A1

Dr. Komsuoglu has received patent US2011/0320042A1 for his earlier work in American Android Corp. This work outlines two key technologies developed for a multi-arm manipulator system: a procedure by which video feeds collected from multiple appendage mounted cameras are combined; and a mechanism that provides selectable command frame of reference. The combination of these two methods give rise to a significantly improved user experience and reduce operator fatigue. These methods were demonstrated on MA-UGV platform.
