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: 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: 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 vehicle, preferably an autonomous vehicle comprises a drive control 204 capable of receiving an input from an input device 202 associated with an actuator 216. The actuators may be linkages 218 operated to 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. Control of the vehicle is based partly on a safety scheme. The scheme comprises a first communications link, such as a network connection, between a controller 226 and the said actuators: a second communication link 408, such as a current loop, interlinks said actuators. The vehicle is controlled partly based on a safety signal transmitted via either or both communication links.

Abstract: A method of object detection for a mobile robot includes emitting a speckle pattern of light onto a scene about the robot while maneuvering the robot across a work surface, receiving reflections of the emitted speckle pattern off surfaces of a target object in the scene, determining a distance of each reflecting surface of the target object, constructing a three-dimensional depth map of the target object, and classifying the target object.
