Abstract: Operating an autonomous grounds maintenance machine includes determining a travel path for the machine to reach a destination waypoint in a zone of a work region. The travel path is analyzed for problem areas based on a predetermined terrain map. Rotations of the machine may be planned even before the machine begins to travel down the path to proactively prevent the machine from becoming trapped.

Abstract: A method for operating an autonomous machine involves determining one or more windows of availability over a time period when the autonomous machine is allowed to operate to perform one or more operational tasks. An operating schedule is determined for a work region that assigns the one or more operational tasks to the one or more windows of availability based a total operation time. At least one operational task is prioritized to cover an isolated containment zone before at least one other operational task to cover an autonomous containment zone in the operating schedule.
