207 results about "Autonomous agent" patented technology

An autonomous agent is an intelligent agent operating on an owner's behalf but without any interference of that ownership entity. Such an agent is a system situated in, and part of, a technical or natural environment, which senses any or some status of that environment, and acts on it in pursuit of its own agenda. Such an agenda evolves from drives (or programmed goals). The agent acts to change part of the environment or of its status and influences what it sensed.

Encrypted autonomous agent verification in multi-tiered distributed systems across global or cloud networks

Systems and methods disclosed herein perform privacy-preserving evaluations of artificial intelligence (AI) agents. A first AI agent associated with a first entity obtains a machine-readable data structure defining one or more operative boundaries for a second AI agent associated with a second entity. The system generates a unique fixed reference value representing the machine-readable data structure by applying a first transformation operation set, and transmits the unique fixed reference value to a multi-agent storage to store the value. The system receives, via the multi-agent storage, a verification artifact from the second AI agent that indicates an observed value based on internal operational data of the second AI agent corresponding to the operative boundaries. The first AI agent determines a verification status of the verification artifact by comparing the unique fixed reference value with the observed value, and autonomously generates a verification record including a representation of the verification status.

Symbolic EEG-Driven Cognitive Routing Kernel (S-ECRK)

A symbolic neuroadaptive control system is disclosed for real-time arbitration, consent, and ethical modulation of artificial intelligence agents operating in wearable computing environments. The system integrates multimodal biometric telemetry—including high-resolution EEG signals—with a symbolic kernel that performs logic-driven arbitration over cognitive, emotional, and ethical states. Using Coq-verified invariants and zero-knowledge biometric consent tokens, the system constructs a deterministic symbolic execution graph, gating AI outputs based on internal user states such as trauma, stress, or intentionality. Unlike conventional black-box BCI models, the invention routes EEG-inferred affective-symbolic tokens through a formal ethics layer that enforces real-time interrupt control, utility bounding, and trust verification. The kernel enables AGI systems to defer or modify behavior based on user-state alignment, granting sovereign agency over all downstream actions. This neuro-symbolic architecture redefines the interface between human cognition and intelligent machines, enabling emotionally conscious, morally verifiable, and symbolically transparent AI governance in dynamic, high-stakes contexts.The present invention relates to artificial intelligence and neurotechnology, specifically to a real-time, neuro-symbolic operating system kernel that converts electroencephalography (EEG) signals into structured symbolic data for use in emotional cognition, ethical prioritization, autonomous agent dispatch, and real-time telecommunications routing. The invention bridges brain-computer interface (BCI) inputs with symbolic AI architectures to enable ethically aligned machine response during cognitively or emotionally intense events.

Redundant control architecture for multi-domain autonomous agents

A hybrid, redundant, fail-safe architecture provides a unified fail-operational framework for autonomous agents operating across physical and virtual domains. The system employs a multi-modal data source suite, an adaptive hybrid data fusion module, and an intelligent decision-making module. A novel closed-loop interaction enables a health monitoring module that detects an incipient fault in a data source by monitoring ancillary performance metrics. Upon detection, the module generates a fault signature, including a quantitative prognostic estimate of a future failure time, and transmits it to an adaptive data fusion module. The fusion module proactively reconfigures its state estimation algorithm by decreasing reliance on the degrading data source in proportion to the prognostic estimate. This preemptive compensation ensures the system maintains a high-integrity environmental model and achieves true fail-operational continuity. The architecture is applicable to numerous embodiments providing a universal solution for proactive fault management and system resilience.
