Mobility platform for autonomous navigation of worksites

A mobility platform is configured to execute one or more tasks in a worksite including a first passive landmark and a second passive landmark. The mobility platform may include a chassis, a drive system supporting the chassis, a first laser rangefinder disposed on the chassis at a first location, a second laser rangefinder disposed on the chassis at a second location, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to determine a position and orientation of the chassis based on a first distance measured by the first laser rangefinder between the first location and a first known landmark position, a second distance measured by the second laser rangefinder between the second location and a second known landmark position, and yaw angle information from at least one of the first and second laser rangefinders.

Autonomous Refuse Container
