Patent applications

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for zero-config cross-manufacturer robot onboarding. The filed applications describe and claim approaches to automatic discovery, authentication, and integration across manufacturers without manual configuration or pre-existing trust relationships, including degraded, offline, single-manufacturer, and pre-certified variants. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for universal cross-manufacturer coordination protocol. The filed applications describe and claim methods of real-time task allocation, state synchronization, and conflict resolution across heterogeneous robot fleets regardless of vendor or onboard software — including supervised-autonomy and teleoperation session handoff in which command authority moves between human operators and the coordination layer — including degraded, offline, single-manufacturer, and pre-certified variants. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for autonomous construction progress verification plus automated payment. The filed applications describe and claim systems that measure physical work completion by robot fleets and trigger payment against pre-agreed, human-approved contract milestones — the human approval moves to contract time instead of invoice time. All descriptions here are of filed claims in simulation-validated form, not deployed payment systems. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for cross-vertical intelligence transfer for machine fleets. The filed applications describe and claim mechanisms that moves learned behaviors, models, or optimization strategies between robot fleets operating in different industries or environments, and mechanisms that adapts the output of a general-purpose or foundation model (including vision-language-action models) to the specific embodiment of an individual robot at the orchestration layer, including degraded, offline, single-manufacturer, and pre-certified variants. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for agent natural-language fleet command with staged pre-execution check pipeline. The filed applications describe and claim interfaces that accepts high-level natural language instructions for mixed robot fleets and enforces layered safety validation before execution, including degraded, offline, single-manufacturer, and pre-certified variants. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for payload custody transfer with per-hop cryptographic chain. The filed applications describe and claim protocols that maintain verifiable, tamper-evident custody of physical payloads as they move between robots or owners, and uses of witnessed custody events as the anchor for settlement, pricing, metering, audit, or machine-generated risk telemetry consumable by third parties such as underwriters, including degraded, offline, single-manufacturer, and pre-certified variants. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for onboarding-time latency profiling plus time-coherent sensor stream alignment. The filed applications describe and claim techniques that characterize timing behavior during robot integration and maintains synchronized multi-robot sensor data streams, including degraded, offline, single-manufacturer, and pre-certified variants. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for voice-grounded spatial command, named group macros, site enrollment by narration, and pre-arrival provisioning. The filed applications describe and claim systems that lets operators issue spatial instructions by voice, define reusable group behaviors, enroll sites through spoken description, and prepare robot fleets before physical arrival, including degraded, offline, single-manufacturer, and pre-certified variants. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for cross-owner robot task cooperation via a neutral witnessed rail. The filed applications describe and claim architectures that enables robots owned by different parties to hand off tasks under witnessed dual consent, live re-validation of dispatch conditions, custody ledger maintenance, owner-distinctness testing, and boundary witnessing — and marketplace, spot-market, brokerage, and capacity-exchange arrangements in which actuation authority moves between owners across that rail, with or without hardware-attested identity — including degraded, offline, single-manufacturer, and pre-certified variants. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for cryptographically gated cross-owner transfer of robot actuation authority. The filed applications describe and claim architectures in which owner distinctness is proven in zero knowledge without disclosing ownership records to the coordination rail, custody flips gated by re-execution of the full ordered dispatch-condition sequence within a single control cycle, and pre-dispatch condition receipts notarized by a rail that is cryptographically incapable of reading the content it notarizes, including degraded, offline, single-manufacturer, and pre-certified variants. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for coordinating mixed-manufacturer machine fleets over an acoustic broadcast that remains a perceptually valid musical work. The filed applications describe and claim architectures in which frames are embedded under a psychoacoustic masking model and addressed to machine classes rather than individual devices, receivers that recomputes truncated authentication tags from out-of-band class key material and executes only what is addressed to a class it holds, null-effect refusal semantics in which a failed verification produces no actuation and no emission, and epoch-lease dead-man arrangements that brings a fleet to a safe stop when broadcasts cease — in radio-denied, radio-congested, and radio-available environments alike, over musical and non-musical acoustic carriers. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for transferring exclusive actuation authority over a single robot between principals, enforced at the robot-side controller that gates dispatch to the actuators rather than at a session or administrative layer. The filed application describes and claims architectures in which the controller keeps a persistent authority generation, inhibits commands from every principal during a bounded transition while holding a configured safe posture, binds the candidate authority to a state version identifier and a safety result computed over the same latched snapshot, invalidates the outgoing authority by a durable write before accepting the incoming one, and treats timeout or divergence as leaving no principal in control, with a signed transition receipt as evidence. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for a robot-side controller whose mission identity, authority scope and emergency-stop state persist through a power cycle. The filed application describes and claims architectures in which a controller that loses power returns in the same held state it left, a hardware-level emergency override works with no network and no server, a lease clock bounds how long any authority stays valid, and entry into execution is gated on permit evidence rather than on a live connection, including degraded, offline, single-manufacturer, and pre-certified variants. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.

Swarmonic has patent pending coverage for a humanoid robot that hosts the fleet controller and is the one interface a human operator speaks to. The filed application describes and claims architectures in which authority flows from the operator to the humanoid and onward to subordinate robots through hash-linked delegation records with scoped, expiring leases, spatial references such as a pointed finger or a glance are grounded through the humanoid's own body pose against a site anchor map, fleet-level intent is translated through per-manufacturer protocol adapters, every command is appended to a hash-linked ledger, and loss of link places subordinates in a hold posture with the hardware emergency stop fully live, including degraded, offline, single-manufacturer, and pre-certified variants. Multiple independent claim families are on file with the USPTO, including implementations not described on this page.
