Apparatuses, systems, and methods for apparatus operation and remote sensing

摘要

A method and system for controlling an apparatus including receiving data indicative of an actual state of the apparatus, defining a first viewpoint relative to at least one of the environment and the apparatus, determining a first predicted state of the apparatus at time T, determining a first predicted state of the environment at time T, producing a first virtualized view from the first viewpoint, sending a first control signal to the apparatus after producing the first virtualized view, defining a second viewpoint relative to at least one of the apparatus and the environment, determining a second predicted state of the apparatus at time T+delta T, determining a second predicted state of the environment at time T+delta T, producing the second virtualized view from the second viewpoint, sending a second control signal to the apparatus after producing the second virtualized view, and changing the actual state of the apparatus based on the first control signal.

1. A method for controlling an apparatus in an environment from a remote location, comprising:
receiving, from an apparatus located at said remote location, data indicative of one or more actual states of said apparatus, with a non-zero latency; estimating a time T, wherein T represents the current time plus an estimated latency representing the time for a control signal to be received and acted upon by said apparatus; sending a control signal to said apparatus at said remote location; predicting a state of said apparatus at time T, based on one or more previous actual or predicted states of said apparatus and said control signal; and creating and displaying a plurality of virtualized views from a viewpoint, said virtualized views showing a series of interim predicted states representing a real-time transition of said apparatus from said one or more previous actual or predicted states to said predicted state.
