    摘要: A method for refining global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data for a watercraft is provided. The method includes receiving, from a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) mounted to the watercraft, the GNSS data. The method also includes receiving radar data from a radar mounted to the watercraft, creating adjusted data using at least the radar data and the GNSS data, and applying the adjusted data by taking an action. The action comprises at least one of performing a docking operation with the adjusted data, automatically navigating the watercraft using the adjusted data, causing presentation of an alert or other indication regarding the adjusted data, or updating a chart to form an updated chart and causing presentation of the updated chart on a display.

    摘要: A method for generating navigation routes for a vehicle includes: receiving an origin position, in a road network, of the vehicle; receiving a destination position, in the road network; receiving a user preference from a user interface device, the user preference indicating a tradeoff value having one of a plurality of values between travel time and energy efficiency; computing a time value for each of a plurality of road segments of the road network using a time consumption model; computing an energy consumption for each of the plurality of road segments of the road network using an energy consumption model; identifying a weighted route from the origin position to the destination position based on the time value and the energy consumption for the road segments and based on the user preference; and supplying the identified weighted route to a navigation system of the vehicle.

    摘要: The present disclosure is an autonomous robotic cargo system for moving and accurately positioning cargo inside an aircraft or at any other designated location in an austere environment. The system has a chassis coupled to one or more tracks for moving the chassis from a first location to a second location. The chassis is also coupled to one or more forks for loading cargo and unloading the cargo. In addition, the chassis has a laser scanner positioned on the chassis to capture data indicative of the chassis' environment. The system further has a control processor that pre-generates a preliminary pathway for the chassis to travel from the first location to the second location based upon laser scanner data received from the laser scanner. The control processor also controls the one or more forks to pick up cargo and controls the one or more tracks to move the cargo from the first location to the second location.

    摘要: Problem to be solved: Provided is a travel route generation method that is for an autonomous vehicle and enables a travel route to be accurately generated, even in a case where positioning using GPS or the like is unavailable and the boundary of a travel path is unclear.
    Solution: Scene information that includes a travel path is obtained by sensing surroundings of the autonomous vehicle, a boundary of the travel path is detected based on the obtained scene information, a likelihood based on machine learning is used to evaluate the detected boundary, and a provisional travel route on the travel path for the autonomous vehicle is generated based on the boundary and in accordance with the likelihood for the boundary.
