  • establishing a relationship between a range of camera attitudes and a range of mobile robotic device motion and storing the relationship;

    initiating an automatic camera control function;

    detecting the current motion of a mobile robotic device while the camera is positioned in a first camera attitude;

    using the detected current mobile robotic device motion and the stored relationship between the camera attitude and robotic device motion to determine a second camera attitude; and

    adjusting the attitude of the camera from the first camera attitude to the second camera attitude.
