SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SAFETY-ENABLED CONTROL

Abstract: systems and methods for safety-enabled control by: establishing a wireless communication channel with a plurality of remote control units via the wireless interface device; in response to establishing the wireless communication channels, operating a system-under-control in a supervised mode based on input received from at least one of the plurality of remote control units; in response to a mode switch command received from a first remote control unit of the plurality of remote control units, providing the other remote control units with a request for a mode switch confirmation; and, in response to confirming receipt of a safety-rated input from an autonomous control system and receipt of a mode switch confirmation from each of the other remote control units, operating the system-under-control in an autonomous mode based on input received from the autonomous control system.
