Patent attributes
A system for controlling an operation of a machine including a plurality of actuators assisting one or multiple tools to perform one or multiple tasks, in response to receiving an acoustic mixture of signals generated by the tool performing a task and by the plurality of actuators actuating the tool, submit the acoustic mixture of signals into a neural network trained to separate from the acoustic mixture a signal generated by the tool performing the task from signals generated by the actuators actuating the tool to extract the signal generated by the tool performing the task from the acoustic mixture of signals, analyze the extracted signal to produce a state of performance of the task, and execute a control action selected according to the state of performance of the task.
