Abstract:
1. A method comprising: determining a distance of a moving robotic device to an object in a field of view of the robotic device, wherein the distance changes over time as the robotic device is in motion; determining a speed of movement of the robotic device; as the distance to the object in the field of view decreases, determining a modified field of view of the robotic device that includes a zoomed-in view of the object based on the distance to the object in the field of view and further based on the speed of movement of the robotic device; and as the distance to the object in the field of view increases, determining a modified field of view of the robotic device that includes a zoomed-out view of the object based on the distance to the object in the field of view and further based on the speed of movement of the robotic device.
