More Information
Summary:A system for controlling movement of an articulated vehicle comprising a front compartment and a rear compartment connected by an articulating joint, comprising: a robotics processing unit configured to generate control data to cause movement of the articulated vehicle between a plurality of waypoints along a planned command path within an autonomous operating zone, wherein the control data for each waypoint is generated by (a) calculating a plurality of angles derived from a current position of the front compartment, a current position of the rear compartment, and a location of the waypoint and (b) utilizing the calculated angles to generate the control data for the waypoint; and a controller configured to utilize the control data generated by the robotics processing unit to control operation of the articulated vehicle so that the articulated vehicle travels the planned command path within the autonomous operating zone.
