Proceedings ArticleDOI
Autonomous cross-country navigation with the ALV
Michael J. Daily,John G. Harris,David M. Keirsey,D. Olin,David W. Payton,K. Reiser,J.K. Rosenblatt,D. Tseng,V. Wong +8 more
TL;DR: A description is given of the first cross-country map and sensor-based autonomous operation of a robotic vehicle and two key experiments in which the vehicle avoided known and unknown obstacles in its path.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do whatever works: A robust approach to fault-tolerant autonomous control
TL;DR: A highly distributed fault-tolerant control system capable of compensating for deficiencies in system-level performance even when the cause of a fault cannot be explicitly identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Planning and reasoning for autonomous vehicle control
TL;DR: A reasoning system to support the planning and control requirements of an autonomous land vehicle is described and specific techniques for mission planning, map‐based route planning, local terrain navigation, and reflexive vehicle control are presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Planning Strategic Paths Through Variable Terrain Data
TL;DR: In this article, an algorithm for planning paths through a digital terrain map has been developed for guiding an autonomous land vehicle using a grid representation of the terrain, which allows finding optimal paths when considering terrain data such as elevation, mobility, cultural features, and military threats.

System and method for rapid determination of visibility-based terrain properties over broad regions
David W. Payton,David M. Keirsey +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for rapidly obtaining information about the suitability of terrain to meet concealment or visibility objectives, such as might be needed for military planning or for determining placement of relay antennas in a cellular communication system, is disclosed.
