Latest Patents

Martins is associated with 1 patent, titled “System for Syncing a Harvester with an Autonomous Grain Cart.” The invention describes a control system that receives positional information about a first vehicle at one communication frequency and kinematic information at a higher frequency. A guidance controller uses the kinematic information to determine the first vehicle’s heading, compares it with the second vehicle’s heading, and calculates a guidance heading. The system can communicate that guidance to the second vehicle’s steering, throttle, or braking controls.

Career Highlights

Martins’s listed patent reflects work on autonomous vehicle guidance for agricultural operations. By combining vehicle-position and motion data at different update frequencies, the system is designed to support responsive coordination between a harvester and a grain cart.
