Abstract
Sensors can be positioned on or near a remotely controlled device to monitor the status and/or internal conditions of the device and transmit the status information through a data link to a control station, where the information can be provided to a user or operator via sensory stimulation signals. Such sensory stimulation signals can include auditory stimulation signals that can convey the information to the user while allowing the user to maintain visual attention on the remote device. The sensor information can be transmitted as digital information from the remote station to a control station, where it is converted to sensory stimulation signals, such as sounds, which can include tones, alarms, speech, other audible sounds, or combinations thereof. An operator controlling the remote device can, upon receiving the sensory stimulation signals, provide input signals for controlling the remote device.
