Abstract:
1. A method to aggregate image feeds and map user commands, for use in control of robotic systems, comprising the steps of: (a) identifying at least two image feeds to be aggregated into a single image; (b) identifying kinematic relationships of each of the at least two image feeds as related to each other and as related to another reference frame; (c) computing kinematic transformations required for each of the at least two image feeds to transform such image feeds consistent with said reference frame; (d) applying the kinematic transformations computed to each of the respective at least two image feeds; (e) combining the transformed at least two image feeds into a single image, such single image having transformed and combined image feeds; (f) identifying at least two reference frames to which user commands may be mapped; (g) selecting a control reference frame from the at least two reference frames, said control reference frame having a first reference frame; (h) sensing user commands entered through an input device, said input device having a second reference frame; and (i) mapping the sensed user commands from the input device and the input device second reference frame, to the control reference frame and the control reference frame having a first reference frame.
