18. A method for controlling a motorized mobile system comprising:
generating, by a processor of the motorized mobile system and based on an image of a fiducial located proximate to the motorized mobile system captured by an optical sensor, a data report, the fiducial located within a field of view of the optical sensor;
comparing a portion of the image of the fiducial to one or more identifiers associated with one or more fiducials;
verifying the fiducial corresponds to an identifier of the one or more identifiers to indicate a ramp structure associated with the fiducial;
determining a relative location of an edge of the ramp structure from the data report; and
altering one or more operating modes of the motorized mobile system in response to the determined location of the edge of the ramp structure.
