    Abstract: System for switching between autonomous and manual operation of a vehicle wherein a mechanical control system receives manual inputs from a mechanical operation member and an actuator mated to the mechanical control by an electrically actuated clutch receives autonomous control signals generated by a controller. An E Stop system is further configured to remove power from the clutch for safety, while leaving power in the actuator. A method for autonomous mode starting of a vehicle comprises receiving a signal indicating autonomous mode, determining that a parking brake lever is set and the brakes are engaged, disengaging the brakes while maintaining the lever in the set position, and engaging in autonomous mode. >1/22 102 Power Supply T----- Steering Braking System System S Steering Brake Wheel Pedal 112 Vehicle 114 - Con trol Uni t -I Parking Brake I Lever Robotic Control ----- -System Throttle Transmission System System Accelerator Gearshift Lever Pedal FNR - - - - Low Level Control - - -- -- Power and Feedback - --- Robotic Level Control Mechanical and Feedback FIG. 1A Linkage

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for obstacle avoidance. In some embodiments, a robotically controlled vehicle capable of operating in one or more modes may be provided. Examples of such modes include teleoperation, waypoint navigation, follow, and manual mode. The vehicle may include an obstacle detection and avoidance system capable of being implemented with one or more of the vehicle modes. A control system may be provided to operate and control the vehicle in the one or more modes. The control system may include a robotic control unit and a vehicle control unit.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for autonomous control of a vehicle include interruptible, behaviour-based, and selective control. Autonomous control 100 is achieved by using actuators that interact with input devices in the vehicle. The actuators (e.g., linkages) manipulate the input devices (e.g., articulation controls and drive controls, such as a throttle, brake, tie rods, steering gear throttle lever, or accelerator) to direct the operation of the vehicle. Although operating autonomously, manual operation of the vehicle is possible following the detection of events 116 that suggest manual control is desired. Subsequent autonomous control may be permitted, permitted after a prescribed delay 126, or prevented 128. Systems and methods for processing safety signals and/or tracking terrain features are also utilized by an autonomous vehicle.

    Abstract: Methods of remote control of a mobile robot and an intuitive user interface for remotely controlling a mobile robot are provided. Using a point-and-click device (405), the user is able to choose a target location (430) within a heads-up display (400) toward which to move a mobile robot. Additional graphical overlays (410, 412) are provided to aid the user in navigating even in systems with asynchronous communication.
