Abstract
An autonomous vehicle having an interface for payloads that allows integration of various payloads. A vehicle control system controls an autonomous vehicle, receives data, and transmits a control signal on at least one network. A payload is adapted to detachably connect to the autonomous vehicle and includes a network interface configured to receive the control signal from the vehicle control system over the at least one network. The vehicle control system may encapsulate payload data and transmit the payload data over the at least one network, including Ethernet or CAN networks. The payload may be a laser scanner, a radio, chemical detection system, or GPS unit. In certain embodiments, the payload is a camera mast unit, where the camera communicates with the autonomous vehicle control system to detect and avoid obstacles. The camera mast unit may be interchangeable, and may include structures for receiving additional payload components.
