Claim:
1. A system at a terrestrial location of a human handler for guidance of a proxy robot surrogate robotic device at a remote extraterrestrial location utilizing a computer-generated approximated real time (ART) video landscape, the system comprising: a local positioning means at the remote extraterrestrial location to continuously determine the position of the proxy robot surrogate in the remote extraterrestrial location, at least one receiver for receiving far-field video images from at least one camera at the remote extraterrestrial location and data from at least one data collecting device at the remote extraterrestrial location; at least one terrain analysis computer configured to calculate a delay between the at least one camera and the at least one receiver, wherein each movement of the human handler in the computer-generated ART video landscape is emulated by the proxy robot surrogate.
