A computer-implemented method of controlling a mobile agricultural machine includes obtaining prior field data representing a position of plants in a field, obtaining in situ plant detection data from operation of the mobile agricultural machine in the field, determining a position error in the prior field data based on the in situ plant detection data, and generating a control signal that controls the mobile agricultural machine based on the determined position error.

A terminal apparatus includes a camera, a display that displays a display screen including a mobile robot that autonomously travels, and a control circuit. The control circuit acquires a first planned route of the mobile robot, displays, on the display, a screen having the first planned route superimposed on a camera image taken by the camera, detects a contact point on the display on which the screen is displayed, generates a second planned route of the mobile robot that travels through the contact point, and transmits the second planned route to the mobile robot.

System for monitoring stability of autonomous robot, including a GNSS navigation receiver including antenna, analog front end, plurality of channels, inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a processor, all generating navigation and orientation data for the robot; based on the navigation and orientation data, calculating position and direction of movement for the robot; calculating spatial and orientation coordinates z.sub.1, z.sub.2 of the robot, relating to the position and direction of movement; continuing with programmed path for the robot for any spatial and orientation coordinates z.sub.1, z.sub.2 within an attraction domain, where a measure V(z) of distance from zero in z.sub.1, z.sub.2 plane are defined by Lurie-Postnikov functions and is less than 1; for spatial and orientation coordinates outside the attraction domain with V(z)>1, terminating the programmed path and generating notification.

A system receives sensor data from computing devices of passengers riding in an autonomous vehicle (AV). Based on the sensor data, the system can determine a position of each of the passengers within the AV. The system determines a next passenger to be picked up by the AV. Based at least in part on the position of each of the passengers within the AV, the system can (i) select a pickup location for the next passenger, and (ii) determine a route for the AV based on the pickup location such that an open seat within the AV is adjacent to the next passenger when the AV arrives at the pickup location for the next passenger. The system can transmit data corresponding to the route to enable the AV to update a current route in order to facilitate a rendezvous with the passenger at the pickup location.

An information processing method of an information processor includes: obtaining information received from a mobile body through a wireless communication, the mobile body including a movement mechanism and an imaging unit configured to capture image data, the information received from the mobile body including captured image data obtained by the imaging unit, with the captured image data being updated periodically; and generating route guidance information for use in moving the mobile body by the movement mechanism. The captured image data is stored together with data update time information. The route guidance information includes at least two selectable routes. The route guidance information is generated based on the captured image data, position information of the mobile body, and the data update time information.
