System and method for autonomous navigation of a field robot

This invention describes a method for a field robot to navigate autonomously. It takes its current location, a target, and intermediate checkpoints, then uses images from its cameras to determine which parts of the field are traversable. Finally, it plots a safe route. The robot's current location is specifically determined by GPS or a similar satellite system.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advances in AI computer vision and path planning. Modern machine learning models can now more robustly identify traversable terrain from images and optimize routes.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRobot, GPS, cameras, image processing, navigation software
