Latest Patents

Dudash’s listed patents address two distinct technical challenges.

“Systems and Methods for Automatically Annotating Multimodal Data” describes a system and method for annotating image and LiDAR data using position and pose information. The system uses a mobile data collection rig equipped with image and LiDAR sensors, along with mobile beacons placed on the rig and an object of interest. Ultrasonic time-of-flight measurements help estimate their positions, enabling the system to compute pose information and automatically annotate the collected data.

“Hardware Accelerated Minor Embedding for Quantum Annealing” concerns configuring a quantum annealer to solve a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem. The method uses GPU thread blocks to generate and evaluate candidate graphs, update the best local graph when replacement criteria are met, and identify a best graph for configuring the quantum annealer.

Career Highlights

The two inventions reflect Dudash’s work across sensor-based data processing and hardware-accelerated optimization. One focuses on coordinating sensor data and spatial information for automated annotation, while the other applies GPU processing to graph embedding for quantum annealing.

Collaborations

Dudash is associated with Noblis, Inc. His listed coworkers include Gabrielle Olshan-Cantin and Sarad Pant.

Conclusion

Andrew Dudash’s patents highlight contributions to automated multimodal data annotation and GPU-assisted methods for quantum annealing, illustrating the breadth of his technical work.
