Abstract
In various examples, at least partial control of a vehicle may be transferred to a control system remote from the vehicle. Sensor data may be received from a sensor(s) of the vehicle and the sensor data may be encoded to generate encoded sensor data. The encoded sensor data may be transmitted to the control system for display on a virtual reality headset of the control system. Control data may be received by the vehicle and from the control system that may be representative of a control input(s) from the control system, and actuation by an actuation component(s) of the vehicle may be caused based on the control input.
Claims20
A system comprising one or more processors to:
- receive sensor data obtained using one or more sensors of an autonomous machine as the autonomous machine operates in an environment;
- determine, based at least on one or more conditions associated with generating a virtual reality visualization of the environment at a remote-control system, a subset of the sensor data from among the sensor data, the one or more conditions including at least an orientation of a virtual reality headset of a remote operator associated with the remote-control system;
- and
- cause transmission of the subset of the sensor data from the autonomous machine to the remote-control system for use in generating the virtual reality visualization of at least a portion of the environment.
At least one processor comprising processing circuitry to:
- receive sensor data obtained using one or more sensors of an autonomous machine as the autonomous machine operates in an environment;
- select, based at least on one or more conditions associated with presentation of a visualization associated with the sensor data at a remote system, a subset of the sensor data from among the sensor data;
- and
- cause transmission of the subset of the sensor data to the remote system for use in generating the visualization of at least a portion of the environment.
A method comprising:
- receiving sensor data obtained using one or more sensors of the autonomous machine as the autonomous machine operates in an environment;
- selecting, using the autonomous machine and based at least on one or more conditions associated with generating a visualization of at least a portion of the environment at a remote system, a subset of the sensor data from among the sensor data;
- and
- sending, from the autonomous machine to the remote system, the subset of the sensor data for use in generating the visualization of the at least the portion of the environment.
