1. A system for controlling a remote vehicle, the system comprising:
- a LIDAR sensor, a stereo vision camera, and a UWB radar sensor;
a sensory processor configured to process data from one or more of the LIDAR sensor, the stereo vision camera, and the UWB radar sensor; and
a remote vehicle primary processor configured to receive data from the sensory processor and utilize the data to perform an obstacle avoidance behavior.

9. A system for allowing a remote vehicle to discern solid impassable objects from rain, snow, fog, and smoke for the purposes of performing an obstacle avoidance behavior, the system comprising:
-
a LIDAR sensor, a stereo vision camera, a UWB radar sensor, and a GPS; a sensory processor configured to process data from one or more of the LIDAR sensor, the stereo vision camera, the UWB radar sensor, and the GPS; and a remote vehicle primary processor configured to receive data from the sensory processor and utilize the data to perform the obstacle avoidance behavior, wherein data from the UWB radar sensor is integrated with data from the LIDAR sensor to yield data for the obstacle avoidance behavior that represents solid impassable objects rather than rain, snow, fog, and smoke. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 13, 14, 15)
