  • Patent number: 4700302
    Abstract: An automatic guidance system for an unmanned vehicle causes the unmanned vehicle to move to a destination by a combination of traveling along a preset course, and turning and stopping at predetermined positions. A running control unit is provided to determine optimal control values in such a manner that a running state of the unmanned vehicle after a predetermined period of time is predicted by changing control values set in a drive unit in accordance with state values (e.g., position information and heading angle information) representing the current running state, and that the running state after the predetermined period of time matches with the directed operation of the unmanned vehicle, thereby accurately guiding the unmanned vehicle along the preset path.
