Autonomous behaviors for a remote vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for operating a remote vehicle using a diagnostic behavior, the method comprising:
- inputting and analyzing data received from a plurality of sensors to determine the existence of deviations from normal operation of the remote vehicle;
updating parameters in a reference mobility model based on deviations from normal operation; and
revising strategies to achieve an operational goal of the remote vehicle to accommodate deviations from normal operation.

Abstract
A method for enhancing operational efficiency of a remote vehicle using a diagnostic behavior. The method comprises inputting and analyzing data received from a plurality of sensors to determine the existence of deviations from normal operation of the remote vehicle, updating parameters in a reference mobility model based on deviations from normal operation, and revising strategies to achieve an operational goal of the remote vehicle to accommodate deviations from normal operation. An embedded simulation and training system for a remote vehicle. The system comprises a software architecture installed on the operator control unit and including software routines and drivers capable of carrying out mission simulations and training.

16. An embedded simulation and training system for a remote vehicle, the system being installed on an operator control unit and comprising:
-
a software architecture installed on the operator control unit and including software routines and drivers capable of carrying out mission simulations and training, the software routines comprising;
a virtual remote vehicle simulator for generating physical characteristics of a remote vehicle as it moves through a simulated environment and responds to control commands sent by the operator control unit;
a behavior-based control system for generating behavioral characteristics of a remote vehicle;
an environmental simulator for generating sensor events based on a simulated environment;
an integration controller for sending sensor events from the environmental simulator to the behavior-based control system; and
a mission routine suite executed by a central control system of the operator control unit, the mission routine suite including at least one training scenario routine for implementation by the virtual remote vehicle simulator and the environmental simulator, wherein movement of a remote vehicle through a simulated environment is defined by sensor events generated by the environmental simulator, sensor events generated by actuation of operator controls, behavioral characteristics generated by the behavior-based control system, and physical variables generated by the virtual remote vehicle simulator. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
