Abstract:
Systems and methods for autonomous control of a vehicle include interruptible, behavior-based, and selective control. Autonomous control 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 that suggest manual control is desired. Subsequent autonomous control may be permitted, permitted after a prescribed delay, or prevented. 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 &and 412) are provided to aid the user in navigating even in systems with asynchronous communication.

Abstract:
Un método para permitir a un usuario controlar a distancia un robot, cuyo método comprende: proporcionar información de imagen, capturada por una cámara de vídeo, representativa de una zona situada alrededor del robot; proporcionar, utilizando la información de imagen, una imagen de vídeo perceptible por un usuario (300) representativa de la zona situada alrededor del robot (100); determinar una localización de la cámara de vídeo relativa a una posición actual del robot, comprendiendo la determinación de tramas de referencia en la zona situada alrededor del robot (100); permitir al usuario designar, en la imagen de vídeo perceptible por un usuario, un objetivo hacia el cual debe desplazarse el robot, cuya función comprende: determinar una localización de clic dentro de la imagen de vídeo perceptible por un usuario seleccionada por el usuario sobre la base de las tramas de referencia determinadas, la imagen de vídeo perceptible por un usuario y el objetivo hacia el cual debe desplazarse el robot; y determinar las coordenadas x, y y z de la localización objetivo (690) proyectando la localización de clic determinada en la zona situada alrededor del robot; y permitir al robot desplazarse hacia las coordenadas x, y y z de la localización objetivo en donde comprende dicha función proporcionar instrucciones al robot controlando una velocidad de desplazamiento hacia delante y una velocidad de rotación, en donde la velocidad de rotación es una función de la diferencia entre un ángulo rotacional actual del robot y un ángulo entre la posición actual del robot y el objetivo hacia el que debe desplazarse el robot.
