Abstract:
Various embodiments include methods, devices, and robotic vehicle processing devices implementing such methods for automatically adjusting the minimum distance that a robotic vehicle is permitted to approach an object by a collision avoidance system (the “proximity threshold”) to compensate for unpredictability in environmental or other conditions that may compromise control or navigation of the robotic vehicle, and/or to accommodate movement unpredictability of the object. Some embodiments enable dynamic adjustments to the proximity threshold to compensate for changes in environmental and other conditions. Some embodiments include path planning that takes into account unpredictability in environmental or other conditions plus movement unpredictability of objects in the environment.

Claim (Index 20):
The robotic vehicle of  claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to:\n determine a classification for all objects posing an obstacle or potential obstacle to the robotic vehicle; generate a map of all objects posing an obstacle or potential obstacle to the robotic vehicle in which the proximity threshold adjusted consistent with the effect on the control or navigation of the robotic vehicle of the environmental or other conditions and a further distance corresponding to each object based on the object's classification are added as an exclusion perimeter around the object's volume; determine a detour that remains outside the exclusion perimeter of all detected obstacles; and control the robotic vehicle to execute the detour.
