Abstract :
This paper presents the user-assisted trajectory generation module of a control system for autonomous and remotely operated vehicles. The control system is composed of three main modules: user interface, trajectory generation and feedback control. The paper reports the integrated design of the user interface and of the trajectory generation module and discusses how this design can impact the overall system performance. The approach to trajectory generation is based on the techniques from differential flatness.
