摘要： A GPS directed vehicle for cleaning airport runway surfaces. The vehicle uses an ultra-high pressure washer for cleaning rubber off the surfaces of the runway, and a vacuum system for the collection of debris. A GPS device allows an operator to track a cleaning line so as to allow no more than 25 mm overlap of surfaces to be cleaned. An iPad can be used to highlight Google maps for calculating a runway area to be treated. Recording allows the exact location of last treated surface area to allow exact location of an untreated surface area.

摘要： An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or “drone” executes a neural network to assist with detecting and responding to attacks. The neural network may monitor, in real time, the data stream from a plurality of onboard sensors during navigation and may communicate with a high-altitude pseudosatellite (“HAPS”) platform. For example, if the neural network detects a cyber-attack but determines that it does not interfere with external communications, it may shift navigation control of the drone to the HAPS.

摘要： Methods and systems for monitoring use, determining risk, and pricing insurance policies for a vehicle having one or more autonomous or semi-autonomous operation features are provided. According to certain aspects, the operating status of the features, the identity of a vehicle operator, risk levels for operation of the vehicle by the vehicle operator, or damage to the vehicle may be determined based upon sensor or other data. According to further aspects, decisions regarding transferring control between the features and the vehicle operator may be made based upon sensor data and information regarding the vehicle operator. Additional aspects may recommend or install updates to the autonomous operation features based upon determined risk levels. Some aspects may include monitoring transportation infrastructure and communicating information about the infrastructure to vehicles.

摘要： Navigation systems and methods for autonomous vehicles are provided. The navigation system may include multiple navigation subsystems, including one having an inertial measurement unit (IMU). That unit may serve as the primary unit for navigation purposes, with other navigation subsystems being treated as secondary. The other navigation subsystems may include global positioning system (GPS) sensors, and perception sensors. In some embodiments, the navigation system may include a first filter for the IMU sensor and separate filters for the other navigation subsystems.

摘要： A path planning system for an agricultural machine to automatically travel inside and outside a field includes a storage to store a map of a region including fields and roads, and a processor to generate a path for the agricultural machine on the map. The map includes attribute information representing, for each of the roads, at least one of whether the road is an agricultural road, whether the road is a road along a specific feature, or whether the road is a road where satellite signals from GNSS satellites are receivable. The processor is configured or programmed to generate at least one of a path including an agricultural road with priority, a path including a road along the specific feature with priority, or a path including, with priority, a road where the satellite signals are receivable, as the path for the agricultural machine based on the attribute information.

摘要： An autonomous mower conversion kit and method for autonomously controlling a zero-turn mower. The conversion kit include a vehicle control unit containing a navigation processor in data communication with one or more global positioning (GPS) devices configured for inputting GPS coordinates to the navigation processor. The navigation processor is configured to send a signal to a pair of high torque servo motors attached to a housing of a mower. Each of the pair of high torque servo motors has a tie rod removably attached on a first end to one of the pair of high torque servo motors and on a distal end to a mower steering arm. A safety override switch is connected to the vehicle control unit and is configured for converting the mower to autonomous control.

摘要： A method for scale-aware depth estimation using multi-camera projection loss is described. The method includes determining a multi-camera photometric loss associated with a multi-camera rig of an ego vehicle. The method also includes training a scale-aware depth estimation model and an ego-motion estimation model according to the multi-camera photometric loss. The method further includes predicting a 360° point cloud of a scene surrounding the ego vehicle according to the scale-aware depth estimation model and the ego-motion estimation model. The method also includes planning a vehicle control action of the ego vehicle according to the 360° point cloud of the scene surrounding the ego vehicle.

摘要： A vehicle agnostic removable pod can be mounted on a vehicle using one or more legs of a pod mount. The removable pod can collect and time stamp a variety of environmental data as well as vehicle data. For example, environmental data can be collected using a sensor suite which can include an IMU, 3D positioning sensor, one or more cameras, and/or a LIDAR unit. As another example, vehicle data can be collected via a CAN bus attached to the vehicle. Environmental data and/or vehicle data can be time stamped and transmitted to a remote server for further processing by a computing device.
