  • Publication number: 20210086826
    Abstract: A steering control system for a vehicle that considers the limitations of at least one of the vehicle and the environment is contemplated. The steering control system can receive a vehicle characteristic, an environmental condition, a desired amount of turning, and a desired velocity of the vehicle. Based on some, or all of these parameters, the steering control system can determine at least one of a wheel torque, a wheel angle, a wheel camber, and a wheel suspension for a desired vehicle path to enhance vehicle performance.

  • Publication number: 20170364073
    Abstract: Methods and devices for generally fungible robots that autonomously cooperate to transport a load are provided. A method of transporting a load includes providing first and second robots each having a motive mechanism independently operable from the other. Each robot obtains estimates of a width, length, and height of the load. Each robot can obtain estimates of a weight or stability information of the load. Each robot autonomously determines how to engage the load for transportation based at least partially on the width, length, height, and weight of the load, as well as physical limitations of each robot and the terrain between the load and the delivery point. The robots autonomously cooperate with each other to transport the load. In another aspect, robots autonomously monitor the stability of a load, determine optimum configuration for stable transport of the load, and reconfigure based on stability changes during transport.
