| Abstract: Apparatus and methods for modifying the operation of a robotic vehicle in
a real environment to emulate the operation of the robotic vehicle in a
mixed reality environment include a vehicle sensing system having a
communications module attached to the robotic vehicle for communicating
operating parameters related to the robotic vehicle in a real environment
to a simulation controller for simulating the operation of the robotic
vehicle in a mixed (live, virtual and constructive) environment wherein
the affects of virtual and constructive entities on the operation of the
robotic vehicle (and vice versa) are simulated. These effects are
communicated to the vehicle sensing system which generates a modified
control command for the robotic vehicle including the effects of virtual
and constructive entities, causing the robot in the real environment to
behave as if virtual and constructive entities existed in the real
environment. |
