ABSTRACT:
A system for automatically steering a vehicle through an irregular structure. A flexible lighting tube, in proximity to the back of the structure, communicates with at least one canted video camera. A processor takes the output of the camera, determines the position of the vehicle, and provides guidance to the vehicle's steering mechanism.
