Task Planner for Autonomous Field Vehicles

Task Planner is a user friendly standalone application that can be run on a hand held device such as a tablet or on an office computer to plan the operations for autonomous vehicels.

Project Overview

Shown above is an example Task Planner. We can design and develop more sophisticated task planners to suite your needs.

Key Features

All task planning can be done from an office. The final files generated by the Task Planner are then uploaded to the vehicle.

In the absence of an operator, an autonomous machine must be provided with the information it needs to operate successfully.

The Thornfield Task Planner collects such information and generates a set of instructions for the autonomous machine.

The Task Planner can be run on hand held devices such as a tablet to launch autonomous operations.

When the machine is in motion, the Task Planner can be used from a remote location to visualize the whereabouts of the machine and diagnostic information in real-time.

Required Data & Capabilities

The Task Planner requires data such as the:

  • 1
    coordinates of the land boundary;
  • 2
    coordinates of no-go areas;
  • 3
    preferred direction of travel; and

Additionally, the Task Planner has the capability to program in special operation zones to deal with variability of ground conditions and specific operational requirements, e.g. slow speed zones.

The Task Planner will use this information to determine the path and other information required for the machine. This data is then uploaded to the autonomous machine.
