  • Autonomous all-terrain vehicle (ATV)
    Patent number: 10705529
    Abstract: According to one aspect, an autonomous all-terrain vehicle (ATV) includes a controller, a location unit, a navigation module, and a drive controller. The controller receives a ‘remember path’ command and in response, the location unit determines a location associated with the autonomous ATV and a path being travelled by a leader device. The navigation module determines a first route for the autonomous ATV based on the path being travelled by the leader device and stores the first route for the autonomous ATV as a first preset route based on the received ‘remember path’ command. The navigation module determines a second route for the autonomous ATV based on the received ‘recall path’ command and the stored first preset route. The controller controls a drive controller of the autonomous ATV based on the determined second route.
