Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for supporting one or more robots within a ground area. A method of supporting landing of a robot within a ground area includes accessing a map; in a map, a ground area is subdivided into cells covering respective areas of the ground area. Each cell is classified as feasible to indicate that the respective area is available for landing, or is classified as infeasible to indicate that the respective area is unavailable for landing. The method also includes searching a cluster of adjacent cells classified as feasible in a map; the cluster of viable contiguous cells covers a cluster of contiguous areas defining sub-areas available for landing within the ground area. The sub-areas are ranked according to a cost metric, and one of the sub-areas is selected according to the ranking. The method then includes outputting the geographic position of the selected sub-area for at least one of guidance, navigation or control of the robot, so as to land at a selected sub-area within the ground area.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to robotics and, in particular, to one or more of the design, construction, operation, or use of autonomous robots, such as autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles. Background technique [0002] Many modern robots and other machines are designed to operate with increased autonomy and are less dependent on well-trained operators to operate safely. Some of these modern robots are manned, while others are unmanned. In particular, various unmanned vehicles include unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), unmanned Human-piloted spacecraft, etc. The use of unmanned vehicles has grown in recent years, and these unmanned vehicles are used in a wide variety of applications, both military and civilian. [0003] One focus in the field of robotics is the improvement of autonomy, which often includes multiple aspects of robot op...
