  • Patent number: 11525697
    Abstract: A system configured to autonomously operate a vehicle within an environment is disclosed herein. The system includes a vehicle including a sensing system with a single active sensor configured to detect objects within an environment as the vehicle travels on a journey along a travel path within the environment. The system further includes a computing system communicably coupled to the vehicle. The computing system includes a memory configured to store a three-dimensional map of the environment, and a processor configured to determine an updated pose of the vehicle based on the three-dimensional map and input from the single active sensor of the vehicle. The processor is further configured to generate an updated travel path for the vehicle, wherein the updated travel path is generated based on the updated pose of the vehicle within the environment determined by the computing system.
