Abstract

Disclosed are solutions for an autonomous vehicle to perform an initial navigational setup at an operating site by: receiving initial location and orientation data pertaining to the autonomous vehicle; iteratively sensing a plurality of recognizable objects and determining a plurality of fixed reference locations corresponding to each of the plurality of recognizable objects relative to the initial location and orientation data; and developing an operational path plan for the autonomous vehicle to traverse the operating site based on the plurality of fixed reference locations. The autonomous vehicle may be an autonomous mower, the dynamic object may be a solar panel and/or solar panel post, and the sensing may be performed using light detection and ranging (LIDAR).
