Abstract: A mobile robot (100) including a drive system (200) having a forward drive direction (F), a controller (500) in communication with the drive system, and a volumetric point cloud imaging device (450) supported above the drive system and directed to be capable of obtaining a point cloud from a volume of space that includes a floor plane (5) in a direction of movement of the mobile robot. A dead zone sensor (490) has a detection field (492) arranged to detect an object in a volume of space (453) undetectable by the volumetric point cloud imaging device. The controller receives point cloud signals from the imaging device and detection signals from the dead zone sensor and issues drive commands to the drive system based at least in part on the received point cloud and detection signals.

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: A system increases an operator's situational awareness while the operator controls a remote vehicle. The system comprises an operator control unit having a point-and-click interface configured to allow the operator to view an environment surrounding the remote vehicle and control the remote vehicle, and a payload attached to the remote vehicle and in communication with at least one of the remote vehicle and the operator control unit. The payload comprises an integrated sensor suite including GPS, an inertial measurement unit, a stereo vision camera, and a range sensor, and a computational module receiving data from the GPS, the inertial measurement unit, the stereo vision camera, and the range sensor and providing data to a CPU including at least one of an autonomous behavior and a semi-autonomous behavior that utilize data from the integrated sensor suite.

Abstract: A mobile robot 100 comprises a drive system 200, a controller 500 in communication with the drive system 200 and a volumetric point cloud imaging device 450, 450a, 450b supported above the drive system 200 at a height of greater than about one foot (30cm) above the ground and directed to be capable of obtaining a point cloud (3320 fig. 33E) from a volume of space (10a fig. 33E) that includes a floor plane (3332 fig. 33E) in a direction of movement of the mobile robot 100. The controller 500 receives point cloud signals from the imaging device 450, 450a. 450b and issues drive commands to the drive system 200 based at least in part on the received point cloud signals. The imaging device 450, 450a, 450b comprises first and second portions 450a, 450b respectively arranged to emit light substantially onto the ground and into a scene 10 substantially above the ground and respectively to receive reflections of the emitted light from the ground and reflections of the emitted light from the scene 10 about the robot 100.
