Latest Patents
One of Lars Leckie's latest patents is titled "Adjustment of vehicle-implement trajectories to compensate for lateral implement offset." This patent describes a system that includes a mobile vehicle, an implement, a position sensor, a controller, and a user interface, such as a touch-screen monitor or keypad. The system utilizes a software program to compute a calibration trajectory and a steering system to adjust the vehicle's trajectory based on the error between its desired and actual positions. This invention aims to eliminate model error through non-co-located sensing and control, as well as co-located sensing for model calibration.
Another notable patent is "Rapid adjustment of trajectories for land vehicles." This method allows for the adjustment of a desired trajectory of an automatically guided vehicle to navigate around physical constraints like obstacles or boundaries. The method is designed to work seamlessly with the original trajectory and is independent of the vehicle type. It can be applied regardless of whether the vehicle is under automatic guidance and is characterized by its low computational cost.
