Abstract: A method of operating a remote vehicle configured to communicate with an operator control unit (OCU) includes executing a click-to-drive behavior, a cruise control behavior, and a retro-traverse behavior on a computing processor. The click-to-drive behavior includes receiving a picture or a video feed and determining a drive destination in the received picture or video feed. The cruise control behavior includes receiving an absolute heading and velocity commands from the OCU and computing a drive heading and a drive velocity. The a retro-traverse behavior includes generating a return path interconnecting at least two previously-traversed waypoints of a list of time-stamped waypoints, and executing a retro-traverse of the return path by navigating the remote vehicle successively to previous time-stamped waypoints in the waypoints list until a control signal is received from the operator control unit.

Abstract translation: 操作配置成与操作员控制单元（OCU）通信的远程车辆的方法包括在计算处理器上执行点击驱动行为，巡航控制行为和回溯行为。 点击驱动器的行为包括接收图片或视频馈送并确定接收的图片或视频馈送中的驱动器目的地。 巡航控制行为包括从OCU接收绝对航向和速度命令，并计算驱动航向和驱动速度。 回溯行为包括产生将至少两个先前经过的经过时间戳的航点的列表的路线点相互连接的返回路径，并且通过将远程车辆连续导航到先前的时间戳的航路点来执行返回路径的回溯 在路点列表中，直到从操作员控制单元接收到控制信号。
