PATENT LANDSCAPE OF VISUAL SLAM TECHNOLOGIES: STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS FOR AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract.<\/strong> The article presents a comprehensive study of the patent landscape of Visual SLAM technologies, which are a key tool for spatial navigation and autonomous orientation of modern robotic and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The methodological basis of the work is a patent landscape analysis using the international patent analytical platform Orbit Intelligence. The study covers the analysis of patent families by applicants, jurisdictions of protection, time dynamics, technological fields and IPC\/CPC classification codes. Special attention is paid to the identification of the core of patent claims and conceptual areas of patenting. The results of the study showed that Visual SLAM patenting is predominantly algorithmic in nature and is characterized by the dominance of academic and research institutions among applicants and by the absence of pronounced monopolization by large industrial corporations. The patent landscape is fragmented, and key patent claims are concentrated within classes G06, G01S and G05D. A high level of conceptual repetition of patent solutions has been established, which complicates the commercialization of technologies without specialized analysis. It is shown that, with proper IP management, Visual SLAM creates a window of opportunity for engineering integration into UAVs, autonomous transport and robotic systems. In the context of Ukraine, the results of the study can be used to form a national strategy for the development of autonomous navigation technologies, defense R&D programs and IP policy in the field of dual-use technologies.<\/p>\n
