ABSTRACT

Systems, apparatus, and methods to facilitate docking of robotic vehicles with
platforms are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory; machine
readable instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the machine readable
instructions to identify a property associated with a platform; determine a
confidence associated with docking the platform and an autonomous vehicle
based on the property associated with the platform; identify a positioning
maneuver to be performed by the autonomous vehicle relative to the platform
based on the confidence and the property of the platform; and output an
instruction to cause the autonomous vehicle to perform the positioning
maneuver.
