N2 - Teleoperated rescue robots are intended for search-and-rescue missions within unknown disorderly regions. Available robots are equipped with egocentric cameras that are found to have limitations in extreme situations. Time Follower's Vision is a visual presentation system that captures a robotic vehicle's size, position, and environment, allowing even inexperieced operators to control it with ease. This is achieved by using a simple camera and presenting the captured image with a conventional display like a computer monitor. With exocentric viewpoint, the operator is not disoriented by the operation.
