Abstract
A remotely operated steerable vehicle especially usable as a teleooperated mobile robot system is disclosed. The vehicle carries a videocamera which shows the field of view directly ahead. A remote control station has a videomonitor showing said field of view with left and right upwardly converging guidelines on the monitors screen representing the left and right edges of the area traversed by the vehicle if it moves straight into the field of view. The guidelines provide an excellent and inexpensive assistance to the operator who steers the vehicle from a remote location as the operator knows everything outside the guidelines will be missed and everything inside the guidelines will be impacted. The guidelines are further enhanced by traverse markers on the monitor screen representing fixed distances in front of the vehicle so as to provide a depth of field.
