Abstract

Disclosed here are methods and systems for automatically operating automated vehicles moving through vegetation obstacles with minimal damage, comprising receiving image(s) depicting vegetation obstacle(s) blocking at least partially a path of an automated vehicle executing a mission, analyzing the image(s) to extract one or more obstacle attributes of the vegetation obstacle(s), computing a plurality of movement patterns for operating the automated to cross the vegetation obstacle(s) based on one or more vehicle attributes of the automated vehicle with respect to one or more of the obstacle attributes where each movement pattern defines one or more movement parameters of the automated vehicle, selecting one of the movement patterns estimated to reduce a cost of damage to the automated vehicle and/or to the one or more vegetation obstacles, and outputting instructions for operating the automated vehicle to move through the vegetation obstacle(s) according to the selected movement pattern.
