Abstract
A method for enhancing operational efficiency of a remote vehicle using a diagnostic behavior. The method comprises inputting and analyzing data received from a plurality of sensors to determine the existence of deviations from normal operation of the remote vehicle, updating parameters in a reference mobility model based on deviations from normal operation, and revising strategies to achieve an operational goal of the remote vehicle to accommodate deviations from normal operation. An embedded simulation and training system for a remote vehicle. The system comprises a software architecture installed on the operator control unit and including software routines and drivers capable of carrying out mission simulations and training.

19. A system for implementing a retrotraverse behavior for a remote vehicle configured to communicate with an operator control unit, the system comprising:
-
a control system on the remote vehicle including a memory and a processor, the processor being configured to run the retrotraverse behavior, the retrotraverse behavior including or in communication with a waypoint routine that maintains a list of time stamped waypoints stored in the memory and separated by at least a minimum difference in time and distance, wherein one of the waypoint routine and the retrotraverse behavior generates a return path interconnecting previously-traversed waypoints in reverse order of timestamps. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
