METHODS, DEVICES, AND SYSTEMS FOR HIGH-SPEED AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE AND HIGH-SPEED AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method for providing perception-based path adjustments to steer a robotic vehicle comprising the steps of:
- a. providing a preselected corridor through which the vehicle is intended to travel;
b. collecting localized sensory data of the corridor upon which the vehicle is travelling;
c. assembling the collected data into a model;
d. assigning a first set of travel costs to selected portions of the model;
e. aggregating said portions into aggregates;
f. determining the maximum travel cost of the aggregates and assigning a second set of costs wherein said second set of costs comprises the maximum travel cost of the aggregate;
g. evaluating said second set of costs; and
h. providing a vehicle path based on said evaluation of said second set of costs.

Abstract
The invention comprises an autonomous off-road vehicle capable of traveling at high speeds. Preferred embodiments of the invention comprise a system for sensory instrument stabilization comprises three axis assemblies movable about three orthogonal axes. The invention also comprises novel methods for generating a high accuracy route for a robotically controlled vehicle. Other aspects of the invention include drive time, perception-based path adjustments to steer a robotic vehicle within an intended corridor. Another embodiment of the invention comprises the consideration of vehicular dynamics in generating a high accuracy route and in steering a robotic vehicle within an intended corridor.
