Yan Ye
Head of Video Standards and Implementation, Alibaba Cloud Intelligence.
Patent №: 12108125 (October 1, 2024) – 360-degree video delivery over next generation network.

Based on this, it requests the first and second segments of the video stream in advance. The device prioritizes the segments and creates an anticipated requests message indicating the priority order. This message is sent to the network node for optimized streaming.

Patent №: 12108058 (October 1, 2024) – Method and apparatus for chroma sampling. A video processing method includes checking if a chroma component is in the frame sequence. If chroma is present, a sub-process is activated, which may involve joint coding for chroma residues (JCCR), BDPCM, palette mode, or adaptive color transform (ACT).

Youjun Xiong
CTO/Executive Director at UBTech Robotics Ltd.
Patent №: 12103187 (October 1, 2024) – Path planning method and biped robot using the same.

A path planning method for a biped robot generates candidate nodes for foot placement. Adds valid ones to a priority queue, and selects optimal nodes for efficient path planning from start to target; reducing search effort when legs intersect.

Patent №: 12103177 (October 1, 2024) – Decoupling control method for humanoid robot, humanoid robot and computer-readable storage medium. A decoupling control method for a humanoid robot uses task decomposition. It classifies joints as kinematic or dynamic. Desired positions and speeds for kinematic joints are calculated using inverse kinematics. The method computes torques for these joints. It then optimizes dynamic joint torques based on the kinematic task results.
