    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: 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. c c0 . -6 a) 00) al) 'I-, C/)
