First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for planning a path of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- identifying a border of a region associated with a work area;
defining a reference row having a reference path that tracks at least a majority of the border; and
generating tracking rows that track the reference row, the tracking rows comprising at least one inner tracking row and an outer tracking row, each inner tracking row having at least one inner curve with a lesser radius than an outer curve of an outer tracking row to form a path plan having a spiral component.

Abstract
A method and path planner for planning a path of a vehicle comprising a perimeter training module for identifying a border of a region associated with a work area. A definer for defining a reference row having a reference path that tracks at least a majority of the border. A generator generates tracking rows that track the reference row. The tracking rows comprise at least one inner tracking row and an outer tracking row. Each inner tracking row having at least one inner curve with a lesser radius than an outer tracking row having a corresponding outer curve with a greater radius.
