Claim 19:
20. A robotic system comprising:
a controller configured to obtain image data from one or more sensors, the controller also configured to determine a location and a pose of a vehicle component based on the image data and to determine a model of an external environment of the robotic system based on the image data, the controller configured to determine a mapping of a location of the robotic system in the model of the external environment, the model of the external environment providing locations of objects external to the robotic system relative to the location of the robotic system, grades of a surface on which the robotic system is configured to travel, and obstructions in a moving path of the robotic system relative to the location of the robotic system, the controller configured to determine tasks to be performed by components of the robotic system to perform maintenance on the vehicle component; and
a propulsion system configured to move the robotic system based on the control signals, wherein the control signals of the propulsion system are based on one or more of the model of the external environment or the location and pose of the vehicle component,
the controller configured to determine a sequence of movements of the components of the robotic system based on one or more of the tasks to be performed by the components, the model of the external environment, or the location and pose of the vehicle component,
wherein the controller is configured to communicate control signals to the components of the robotic system to move the components according to the sequence of movements of the components to perform the tasks.
