    摘要: System and method for behavior based control of an autonomous vehicle. Actuators (e.g., linkages) manipulate input devices (e.g., articulation controls and drive controls, such as a throttle lever, steering gear, tie rods, throttle, brake, accelerator, or transmission shifter) to direct the operation of the vehicle. Behaviors that characterize the operational mode of the vehicle are associated with the actuators. The behaviors include action sets ranked by priority, and the action sets include alternative actions that the vehicle can take to accomplish its task. The alternative actions are ranked by preference, and an arbiter selects the action to be performed and, optionally, modified.

    摘要: An autonomous electronic apparatus and a navigation method thereof are provided. The navigation method includes the following steps. Firstly, a calling signal from a target is received through a wireless sensor network. A position relationship between the target and the autonomous electronic apparatus is analyzed to generate a first speed. Next, an image set is captured and an image relationship between the image set and the target is analyzed to generate a second speed. Afterwards, a weighting value related to the position relationship is calculated. Besides, a moving speed is calculated according to the weighting value, the first speed and the second speed, and a moving status of the autonomous electronic apparatus moving toward the target is controlled via the moving speed.

    摘要: An autonomous controller for a vehicle. The controller has a processor configured to receive position signals from position sensors and to generate operation control signals defining an updated travel path for the vehicle. The controller has a programmable interface providing communication among the position sensors, the operation control mechanisms, and the processor. The controller is configured to normalize inputs to the processor from the position sensors and to generate compatible operation control signals applied as the inputs to the operation control mechanisms. The processor and the programmable interface define a self-contained unit configurable for operation with a variety of different remote sensors and different remote operation control mechanisms.
