Abstract
An enhanced reality maintenance system operates one or more remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) in a hazardous or inaccessible environment. A computer model of the environment is created from spatial parameters provided to the system. Positions and orientations of moving objects are monitored. The projected course of the moving objects is extrapolated and constantly updated. An automated flight planner, receives desired destinations from an operator, analyzes the environment, the projected courses of moving objects and planned trajectories of other ROVs, and selects a planned trajectory of a selected ROV through the environment without collision.
