Company patents
AI Incorporated
AI Incorporated's patent strategy reveals a strong, albeit recently shifting, focus on Industrial & Autonomous Control, which constitutes 58.1% of its portfolio, despite a significant decline of 31.0% in 2025. Surprisingly, while core AI categories like Machine Learning & AI saw an 83.3% YoY growth in 2024, the company also maintains a substantial 33.0% of its portfolio in Domestic Cleaning Devices, which experienced a 75.0% YoY growth in 2024, indicating a diversified application of its AI expertise beyond traditional industrial settings, though patenting activity across most categories has seen a sharp decline so far in 2026.

Technologies enabling autonomous cleaning robots to perceive their environment, create maps, localize themselves within those maps, and plan efficient cleaning paths in dynamic spaces. This includes sensor integration, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms, and adaptive mapping techniques.
Systems and mechanisms that allow autonomous cleaning robots or devices to return to a base station for automated tasks such as mop washing, dustbin emptying, fluid replenishment, or cleaning of tool heads without human intervention.
Methods and systems for monitoring the operational status, detecting anomalies, ensuring safe interaction, and preventing damage or injury in robotic systems.
Techniques and hardware for autonomous systems to gather and interpret data about their surroundings, including obstacle detection, object recognition, and depth estimation, to inform control decisions.
Algorithms and systems for generating, optimizing, and executing trajectories for autonomous vehicles or robots to move through an environment, often involving obstacle avoidance, route validation, and goal reaching.
Methods and systems for managing the interaction, communication, and collaborative tasks among multiple autonomous entities, or between autonomous entities and a central control system or users.
Design and material innovations for specific cleaning components or attachments, such as brush rolls, mop pads, scrapers, or multi-functional surface tools. These are often tailored for particular surfaces, debris types, or cleaning tasks to enhance effectiveness.
Systems for storing, heating, pumping, and precisely dispensing water or cleaning solutions within domestic appliances or cleaning tools. This includes cartridge-based systems, dissolvable cleaning agents, and controlled fluid delivery for optimal cleaning performance.
Innovations in vacuum cleaner components and systems for efficiently separating, compacting, and containing collected dust, dirt, or lint. This often involves multi-stage filtration, cyclonic separation, or specialized disposal mechanisms to improve air quality and ease of maintenance.
Technologies for generating and utilizing detailed spatial maps within confined or structured environments like care facilities, construction sites, or industrial warehouses, often for robot navigation or asset tracking.
Techniques for combining data from disparate sensor types (e.g., cameras, radar, mobile device signals) to achieve a more robust and comprehensive understanding of an environment or subject, often leveraging machine learning for interpretation and correlation.
Methods and systems for accurately determining the absolute or relative position of an object or device, often integrating satellite navigation (GNSS), inertial measurement units (IMU), and local ranging or wireless communication technologies.
Design and control of advanced robotic grippers, tools, and mechanical linkages for specific manipulation tasks or operating in challenging environments.
Algorithms and systems for planning and executing complex vehicle maneuvers, often involving cooperation with other vehicles or infrastructure, to optimize traffic flow, avoid collisions, or navigate challenging scenarios. This includes lane changes, cut-ins, and traffic congestion.
Design features and accessories that improve the installation, storage, usability, and overall user experience of household cleaning appliances and manual tools. This includes mounting brackets, ergonomic handles, and integrated storage solutions.
Techniques for generating, updating, and utilizing highly detailed digital maps that include lane-specific information, and for precisely determining a vehicle's position within these lanes, often using sensor data.
