Latest Patents

Kumar is associated with 1 patent, titled “System and Method for Cognitive Surveillance Robot for Securing Indoor Spaces.” The invention describes a robot-mounted camera that captures image streams from indoor scenes and processes them to identify objects and their properties. Trained models generate object bounding boxes and masks, while optical character recognition and a second model classify signs as text or symbols. The system converts these outputs into facts, uses stream reasoning to infer additional facts, and compares the results with adaptable business logic to trigger alerts when specified patterns are detected. The approach aims to address limitations of earlier indoor surveillance robots, which often focused on detecting specific events and struggled to recognize a broad range of objects.
