Autonomous machine control system
First Claim
1. An autonomous control system for a mobile machine, comprising:
- a plurality of system modules each configured to autonomously;
monitor a status of at least one machine component and generate a corresponding recommended machine action based on the status;
a control module configured to autonomously control operations of the mobile machine; and
a health supervisor module in communication with the plurality of system modules and the control module, the health supervisor module configured to autonomously;
arbitrate each of the recommended machine actions from the plurality of system modules to determine an overall machine response; and
command the control module to implement the overall machine response.

Abstract
An autonomous control system for a mobile machine is disclosed. The autonomous control system may have a plurality of system modules each configured to monitor a status of at least one machine component and generate a corresponding recommended machine action based on the status, and a control module configured to control operations of the mobile machine. The autonomous control system may also have a health supervisor module in communication with the plurality of system modules and the control module. The health supervisor module may be configured to arbitrate each of the recommended machine actions from the plurality of system modules to determine an overall machine response, and to command the control module to implement the overall machine response.
