28 Claims

1. A remote robot control method using a three-dimensional pointing procedure, the remote control method comprising:

(a) measuring a distance between a remote controller and a robot;

(b) calculating an initial position of the remote controller in an inertial navigation frame of the remote controller;

(d) calculating an origin of the inertial navigation frame of the remote controller in an inertial navigation frame of the robot;

(e) calculating a new position of the remote controller in the inertial navigation frame of the remote controller;

(f) calculating a new position of the robot in the inertial navigation frame of the robot, and

(g) controlling said robot based on said operations (a)-(f).
