Abstract
Systems and methods enable an autonomous vehicle to perform an iterative task of transferring material from a source location to a destination location, such as moving dirt from a pile, in a more efficient manner, using a combination of reinforcement learning techniques to select a motion path for a particular iteration and visual servo control to guide the motion of the vehicle along the selected path. Lifting, carrying, and depositing of material by the autonomous vehicle can also be managed using similar techniques.
