Abstract: A system includes an operator control unit having a point-and-click interface configured to allow the operator to control the remote vehicle by inputting one or more commands via the point-and-click interface. The operator control unit displays a 3D local perceptual space comprising an egocentric coordinate system encompassing a predetermined distance centered on the remote vehicle, a remote vehicle representation having selectable portions, and an icon at a point selected in the 3D local perceptual space and at a corresponding location in an alternative view of a map having an identified current location of the remote vehicle. The system also includes a payload attached to the remote vehicle. The payload includes a computational module and an integrated sensor suite including a global positioning system, an inertial measurement unit, and a stereo vision camera.

Abstract: An operator control unit includes a user interface that allows a user to control a remote vehicle, a transmission unit configured to transmit data to the remote vehicle, and a receiver unit configured to receive data from the remote vehicle. The data received from the remote vehicle includes image data captured by the remote vehicle. The operator control unit includes a display unit configured to display the user interface including the image data received from the remote vehicle and icons representing a plurality of controllable elements of the remote vehicle, and configured to allow the user to input a control command to control at least one of the plurality of controllable elements.
