  • Publication number: 20250348077
    Abstract: A robotic vehicle management system for the control, optimization and distribution of robotic vehicles is presented in which vehicle operational data is recorded and used to model and optimize a vehicle's travel path. A process for receiving data from multiple vehicles is disclosed, wherein the recorded data is used in the optimization of control systems with regards to travel path, fuel savings, safety, and other considerations. The recorded data may be used to improve system operations or operations of individual vehicles. Methods and techniques are also provided for reading data from vehicle sensors, applying analysis techniques to this data, and uploading improved operational processes to one or more vehicles or to a fleet of vehicles. Adaptive controls, learning based controls, navigation system and other capabilities may be included for optimization and distribution by this discloses system and methods.
