Palo Alto Research Center Incorporated, with Xerox Corporation as assignee, was granted a patent titled "Method and architecture for ai-assisted supervision for a controlled system" on 4/16/2024 [11,960,273].
The Abstract explains that "A respective sensor reading is an output of a sensor in the production system. The supervisor can then determine, using an artificial intelligence (AI) model, whether the set of sensor readings accommodates a fault associated with a corresponding sensor. Subsequently, the supervisor can determine an action that mitigates an effect of the fault and modify the set of sensor readings based on the action."
Figure 1 shows an "exemplary supervised environment that supports an Al-assisted supervised controlled system".
