Three-Dimensional Environmental Coverage Oriented Motion System and Method

The present invention relates to an environmental coverage oriented motion system. The system includes a rangefinder module configured to measure a distance in real time; an odometry module configured to measure a velocity or a position in real time; a powered vehicle carrying the rangefinder module and the odometry module; and a controller module carried by the powered vehicle, configured to receive one of the distance, the velocity and the position, performing an environmental coverage oriented motion scheme based on one of the distance, the velocity and the position to select a plurality of positions, and commanding the powered vehicle to move among the plurality of positions.
