Latest Patents

Colvin’s patent, “Collision avoidance system for autonomously or remotely operating robotic assets,” describes a vehicle collision avoidance system designed to help robotic vehicles avoid collisions. The system determines the relative position of another collision avoidance module using information from a network. When the other module is within a first distance, the system issues an alert; when it is within a second distance, the system sends a hard-stop signal to the robotic vehicle.

Career Highlights

The patent combines network-based position information, computer processing, and a hard-stop interface to support safety for robotic vehicles. Its approach provides both an early warning and a direct means of stopping the vehicle as another module approaches.

Collaborations

Colvin is associated with Battelle Memorial Institute. Garrett Dowd and Jeffrey Keip are identified as coworkers.

Conclusion

Gregory Colvin’s patent addresses a practical safety challenge in robotic vehicle operation by pairing proximity alerts with an automated hard-stop response.
