Control Unit
ASI’s patented VCU computer is
the brain in the vehicle. It also
relays information between the
vehicle, server, and Mobius.
Operation
In by-wire vehicles no actuators are
needed, as the VCU integrates with
vehicle controls directly through our
vehicle interface module.
Kit Sensors
An array of sensors collect environment information
and relay it to the on-board VCU to give awareness of
the vehicles surroundings to the automation system.

5. 02 VANTAGEObstacle Detection & Avoidance
• Sensor Fusion: Layering
multiple sensor inputs
• Dynamically commands the
vehicle to avoid collisions,
accomplish tasks, and build
maps (dynamic re-planning)
• GPS – denied navigation
• Ongoing automotive sensor
studies
• Sensor independent / agnostic

6. 03 MOBIUSMulti-Vehicle Command & Control
• Command and monitor
multiple autonomous vehicles
• Map Builder supports USGS,
shape file, and military formats
• Optimized mission planning:
• Waypoints, area coverage,
Path Builder
• Path trainer, cost-based
road utilization
• Known obstacle avoidance
• Dynamic event-based
re-planning

8. 03 MOBIUSFeatures
Command & Control
Set specific tasks and control the critical vehicle
functions including steering, transmission,
acceleration, braking, and ignition from a remote
location.
Multi-Vehicle
Enjoy greater productivity and economies of scale
as a single operator controls multiple unmanned
vehicles interacting in the same area or at
disparate locations.
User Friendly
Experience the simple, clean Mobius interface
that leverages advanced design and development
techniques and incorporates user testing results
from industry professionals.
A.I.
Improve productivity with embedded artificial
intelligence modules that automatically task
vehicles, generate maps and paths, develop
area coverage patterns, and more.
Safety
Monitor vehicle health data, view warnings
from obstacle detection sensors, plan dynamic
paths to avoid hazards, and prevent collisions
with proximity monitor and choreographer.
Notifications
Real-time notifications provide remote
operators with detailed feedback on
environmental issues, system errors, and
vehicle check-in and running status.

Autonomous Haul Truck
Recorded Dump History
The Mobius Haulage A.I.
keeps all trucks consistently
tasked, queues waiting
vehicles, and regulates the
haul cycle in the most
efficient way possible.

11. BENEFITS OF AUTOMATIONWhy Automate your operation?
Increase Production
Autonomous vehicles are
not time regulated, don’t
require breaks and can
avoid queues
Increase Safety
Reduce the risk of human
error with autonomous
vehicles
Increase Accuracy
Automated vehicles can
repeat tasks with higher
precision and better
accuracy
