Cyngn Inc. has received a new patent, its 20th, which introduces a method to maintain the accuracy of data collected by an autonomous vehicle’s sensors as the vehicle moves.
The patent optimizes sensor data processing by integrating advanced LiDAR and image technologies. By initially capturing comprehensive environmental data, the system then calculates and adjusts for any time delay between data acquisition and processing. It dynamically generates a motion model based on real-time sensor movements across multiple axes, ensuring precise predictions of future positions.
The significance of this patent lies in its ability to significantly enhance the reliability and precision of sensor data in autonomous vehicles and robotics by effectively compensating for motion during data processing. This capability enables these systems to operate with accuracy in dynamic environments, ultimately enhancing safety, efficiency, and empowering better-informed decisions based on precise environmental data.
“The granting of our 20th US patent underscores Cyngn’s ongoing commitment to advancing autonomous vehicle technologies,” said Lior Tal, chairman and chief executive officer of Cyngn.
“Following the 16 US patents granted in 2023, this achievement reflects our team’s commitment to building out a robust patent portfolio to protect our intellectual property.”
Cyngn develops and deploys scalable, differentiated autonomous vehicle technology for industrial organizations. Its self-driving solutions allow existing workforces to increase productivity and efficiency. The company addresses challenges facing industrial organizations today, such as labor shortages, safety incidents, and increased consumer demand for eCommerce.
Cyngn’s DriveMod Kit can be installed on new industrial vehicles at end of line or via retrofit, empowering customers to seamlessly adopt self-driving technology into their operations without high upfront costs or the need to completely replace existing vehicle investments.
Cyngn’s flagship product, its Enterprise Autonomy Suite, includes DriveMod (autonomous vehicle system), Cyngn Insight (customer-facing suite of AV fleet management, teleoperation, and analytics tools), and Cyngn Evolve (internal toolkit that enables Cyngn to leverage data from the field for artificial intelligence, simulation, and modelling).
