Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method of determining a plan through a space comprising a near field and a far field, comprising:
- with a sensor device, obtaining measurements of said far field and storing said measurements in an electronic memory;
with a processor, determining, based on said measurements of said far field, the viability of each far field plan among a plurality of candidate far field plans;
with said processor, determining a flexibility score for each of said candidate far field plans; and
with said processor, selecting a composite plan comprising a far field plan having the highest flexibility score among those candidate far field plans that have been determined to be viable.

Abstract
A plan through a space having a near field and a far field is determined. Using a sensor device, measurements of the far field are obtained and stored in an electronic memory. A processor uses the measurements to determine the viability of each far field plan among a plurality of candidate far field plans. The processor also determines a flexibility score for each of the candidate far field plans and selects a composite plan comprising the viable far field plan having a highest flexibility score among the viable candidate far field plans.

21. A computer implemented two-stage planning method, comprising:
a processor selecting a composite plan from among a set of candidate composite plans, wherein each candidate composite plan is formed from a union of a near field plan, selected from among a set of candidate near field plans, and a far field plan, selected from among a set of candidate far field plans. - View Dependent Claims (22)
