Abstract: An automated mobile sprayer (AMS) (10) applies fluid sprays to a target surface. The AMS can operate according to a wall-follow routine, where the AMS maintains a spacing and orientation relative to the target surface and shifts a set distance between each spray pass. The AMS is also operable in an overlap adjustment mode where a control module (24) of the AMS actively determines the distance that AMS shifts between each spray pass such that AMS applies the final orthogonal spray on the target surface at an end point of the target surface.

Abstract: An automated mobile sprayer (AMS) (12) is configured to apply stripes of fluid to target surfaces to coat those target surfaces with the fluid. A control module (24) of the AMS (12) controls movement and spraying by the AMS. The control module (24) causes the AMS (12) to follow a target surface based on distance data from distance sensors configured to detect the target surface.
