SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESPONDING TO OBSTACLES IN WORKSITES USING AUTONOMOUS MACHINES

A system and method for responding to objects encountered by autonomous machines at a worksite. Sensors at the worksite gather sensor data that may be used by one or more processors to identify an object or obstacle at the worksite and an associated location. The sensors may be disposed on an autonomous machine operating at the worksite. The system and method include determining, based on the sensor data, an object classification for the object and/or obstacle and determining, based on the object classification and the sensor data, a remediation procedure to remove the object from the path and enable the autonomous machine to complete the work plan. The system and method further include determining a second machine included in the remediation procedure from a set of machines located at the worksite and causing the second machine to perform the remediation procedure.
