Control computer for an unmanned vehicle

摘要

A control computer for an unmanned vehicle, including: a sensor interface for receiving sensor data from sensors of the vehicle, the sensor data including data values associated with movement of the vehicle; an actuator control interface for sending actuator data to control actuators of the vehicle, the actuators controlling parts of the vehicle associated with controlling movement of the vehicle; and a system management component for executing a state machine having states corresponding to one or more phases of the movement and for determining a transition between current one of the states and another of the states based on at least one condition associated with the transition, at least one condition being determined based on at least one of the sensor data, the actuator data and status of the computer.

1. A control computer for an unmanned vehicle, comprising:
a sensor interface for receiving sensor data from sensors of a vehicle, said sensor data including data values associated with movement of the vehicle; an actuator control interface for sending actuator data to control actuators of the vehicle, said actuators controlling parts of the vehicle associated with controlling movement of the vehicle; and a system management component for:
executing a state machine having a plurality of states, each state corresponding to one of a plurality of phases of said movement, said actuator data being generated based on a current one of said plurality of states of said state machine; anddetermining a transition between said current state and another of said states based on at least one condition associated with said transition, said at least one condition being determined based on at least one of said sensor data, said actuator data and status of said computer, and said at least one condition associated with said transition representing completion of a phase of movement of said current state.
