Demo  User can maneuver robot via USB Controller  Option for toggling controls on/off  Other options: beep horn, take picture  Machine intervention - prior to collision:  Issue warning sound, stop all movement, and disable user control  Take and display picture of the obstacle  Rotate 180 degrees and relinquish control to user

Lessons/Applications  Motor Vehicles  Currently sensors for backing up in some vehicles  Could this be the next step towards automatic vehicles?  Detect potential collisions while moving and adjust accordingly while driving  Military Vehicles  Detect Roadside IED and avoid accordingly.
