Abstract
The paper discusses some issues about a telepresence system to be used for remote driving of robots that operate in hazardous and/or hostile environments. The emphasis is on the problem of efficiently using and integrating information from different sensors, in order to provide the remote operator with readily understandable and usable data.
Solution hypotheses, which take advantage of virtual reality techniques, are presented.
