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 translation: 用于车辆自主控制的系统和方法包括可中断的,基于行为的和选择性的控制。 通过使用与车辆中的输入装置相互作用的致动器来实现自主控制。 致动器(例如联动装置)操纵输入装置(例如,关节运动控制装置和驱动控制装置,诸如节流阀,制动器,拉杆,转向机构,油门杆或加速器)以引导车辆的操作。 尽管自主运行,但是在检测到需要手动控制的事件之后,可以手动操作车辆。 随后的自主控制可能被允许,在规定的延迟后允许或被阻止。 用于处理安全信号和/或跟踪地形特征的系统和方法也被自主车辆利用。

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an autonomous cleaning robot which suitably detects existence of a cliff, such as a set of stairs in a floor surface to prevent the robot from moving down the cliff when the robot meeting with the cliff while moving. SOLUTION: The autonomous cleaning robot includes a chassis, a drive system mounted on the chassis and configured to maneuver the autonomous cleaning robot, a floor proximity sensor carried by the chassis and configured to detect the cliff in the floor surface. The floor proximity sensor includes a beam emitter configured to direct a beam toward the floor surface, and a beam receiver receiving a reflection of the emitted beam from the floor surface, and a beam-transparent cover covering the beam emitter and the beam receiver. The beam-transparent cover has a surface tilted with respect to the direction of travel and has the forward edge elevated above the rearward edge to prohibit accumulation of sediment.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an autonomous cleaning robot capable of appropriately detecting presence/absence of a cliff on a floor surface to prevent a fall when it encounters a cliff such as a step during its movement.SOLUTION: An autonomous cleaning robot includes: a chassis; a drive system which is mounted on the chassis and moves the autonomous cleaning robot; and a plurality of floor proximity sensors for detecting a cliff on a floor surface, each being held by the chassis. Each of the floor proximity sensors includes a beam emitting device for emitting a beam to the floor surface, a beam receiving device for receiving the reflection of the emitted beam from the floor surface, a holding part consisting of a front part and a rear part for holding the beam emitting device and the beam receiving device inside, and beam transmission lids attached to the holding part for covering the beam emitting device and the beam receiving device, each of the beam transmission lids having a surface angled for the floor surface so that the front edge part is positioned higher than the rear edge part with respect the floor surface.
