Latest Patents

Among his latest patents, Proulx has developed a method for route planning and optimization for the traveling salesman problem and its variants. This invention involves obtaining vertex data that describes target attributes, including at least one target location, and process dynamics data that outlines system constraints. The process includes defining vertex functionals that describe attribute requirements and edge functionals that utilize system constraints to determine cost requirements for cost objectives. By constructing a T-graph that incorporates a label space representing the target attributes, the invention dynamically calculates travel costs and minimizes them according to the defined objectives. The optimal space trajectory is then executed to navigate the process through the target locations effectively.

Another significant patent by Proulx is a method and system for optimal trajectory path tasking for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This innovation focuses on generating an optimal trajectory path for data collection on one or more targets using sensors mounted on the UAV. This advancement enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of UAV operations in various applications.
