The USPTO's Patent Public Search tool or its basic version can be used to search for patents. Based on the provided patent number US10379539, I will now identify its most relevant prior art by examining the citations listed within the patent document.
Most Relevant Prior Art for US10379539
Since I do not have direct access to the full USPTO database or the specific "cited by" references within the US10379539 patent document itself from the provided search results, I will rely on the "Prior art keywords" and "Prior art date" mentioned in the Google Patents information to infer the general area of prior art, and focus on the parent application as the closest related art.
The patent US10379539 explicitly states: "This application is a continuation of, and claims the benefit of priority to, co-owned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/341,612, which is now U.S. Pat. No. 10,001,780, of the same title filed Nov. 2, 2016, the contents of which being incorporated herein by reference in its entirety."
Therefore, the most relevant prior art for US10379539 is its parent patent:
Full Citation: U.S. Pat. No. 10,001,780 (US10001780B2)
Publication/Filing Date: Filed November 2, 2016 (Priority Date for US10379539 is also 2016-11-02).
Brief Description: Given that US10379539 is a continuation of US10001780, it is highly probable that US10001780 describes substantially similar systems and methods for dynamic route planning in autonomous navigation, likely forming the foundational concepts upon which US10379539 builds. The shared title "Systems and methods for dynamic route planning in autonomous navigation" further reinforces this. The core inventive concept of using route poses, repulsive and attractive forces, and interpolation for collision-free path generation would likely be present in US10001780.
Which claim(s) it potentially anticipates under 35 U.S.C. § 102: As the direct parent patent, US10001780 would likely anticipate all claims (Independent Claims 1, 9, and 17, and their dependent claims) of US10379539 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 to the extent that the claims of US10379539 are not patentably distinct from those of US10001780. A continuation patent typically claims subject matter disclosed in the parent application but not claimed in the parent, or claims a distinct invention from the same disclosure. Therefore, while it serves as a critical prior art reference, the specific distinctions would need to be identified by a detailed comparison of the claims of both patents.
Without direct access to the "References Cited" section of US10379539 from the provided text, I cannot list other specific patent citations and their details. The Google Patents information for US10379539 only lists "Prior art keywords" (route, robot, pose, points, poses) and a "Prior art date" (2016-11-02), which corresponds to the filing date of its parent application US10001780.
