A system and method for estimating free space including applying a machine learning model to camera images of a navigation area, where the navigation area is broken into cells, synchronizing point cloud data from the navigation area with the processed camera images, and associating probabilities that the cell is occupied and object classifications of objects that could occupy the cells with cells in the navigation area based on sensor data, sensor noise, and the machine learning model.

System and method for free space estimation

An autonomous vehicle having sensors advantageously varied in capabilities, advantageously positioned, and advantageously impervious to environmental conditions. A system executing on the autonomous vehicle that can receive a map including, for example, substantially discontinuous surface features along with data from the sensors, create an occupancy grid based upon the map and the data, and change the configuration of the autonomous vehicle based upon the type of surface on which the autonomous vehicle navigates. The device can safely navigate surfaces and surface features, including traversing discontinuous surfaces and other obstacles.

System and method for real time control of an autonomous device

An example retention assembly has a motor assembly and a self-locking worm drive coupled thereto. A cam is fixed to a worm gear of the worm drive. The retention assembly has an actuation shaft including a follower. The actuation shaft is displaceable over a displacement range via rotation of the cam. The retention assembly has a securement member with a securement member follower, the securement member coupled to a portion of the actuator shaft. The retention assembly has a housing cam included as part of the retention assembly housing and against which the securement member follower is biased. The securement member are in an open state when the actuation shaft is in a first position. The securement member swings outward to a retaining position as the actuation shaft is moved to a second position.
