    Abstract: A system and method for differential traction drive and steering axis coordination for an autonomous mower or other turf device includes initiating a steering motion based on determining a target forward speed and a steering rotational speed, calculating a left wheel speed and a right wheel speed, and applying the left and right wheel speeds, wherein the steering rotational speed is driven by a steering motor and the traction wheels associated with the autonomous mower, and the left and right wheel speeds are based on the target forward speed, a distance from a steering axle to the center of the respective wheel, and the steering rotational speed.

    Abstract: A computer implemented method for traction control for a turf device. The method comprises detecting a wheel slip event; responsive to the wheel slip event, stopping motion of the wheel and then gradually increasing a wheel speed; detecting a wheel slip event; stopping motion of the wheel; determining that a steering angle of the wheel is less than or equal to a predetermined maximum steering angle and i) adjusting the steering angle of the wheel; and ii) gradually increasing the wheel speed while the steering angle is less than or equal to a predetermined maximum steering angle.
