Abstract

Some embodiments are directed to an unmanned vehicle. The unmanned vehicle can include a memory unit that is configured to store a planned path of the unmanned vehicle. The unmanned vehicle can also include a position unit that is configured to determine a current position of the unmanned vehicle, the position unit further configured to determine a planned position of the unmanned vehicle based on the planned path data stored in the memory unit. The unmanned vehicle can further include a control unit disposed in communication with the position unit, the control unit configured to determine a deviation based on the planned position and the current position of the unmanned vehicle, and control a movement of the unmanned vehicle such that the unmanned vehicle moves along the planned path if the deviation is less than a predetermined threshold.
