--- ![jQPeng.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/KKPjqpeng.png) **English version** After the mission is started, it enters **live mode** and you'll be able to see the **Robot Dog's location** on the map. The Robot's **location** and **orientation** are updated automatically. From this moment, it is possible to monitor the mission status in real time and interact through the controls available in the **Missions** panel.

Available with access to the **App** and a successfully completed **mission pre-check**.

--- ### Mission control modes During execution, the **current mission status** is always displayed. It is possible to follow the mission in **autonomous mode** or manage it in **manual control mode**. #### Autonomous mode In **autonomous mode**, the Robot Dog executes the mission automatically, following the sequence of **waypoints** and **actions** *[configured during planning](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/books/mission-planner-wR9/page/robot-dog-create-and-start-a-mission "Robot Dog – Create and start a mission")*. [![1 - Autonomous.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/1-autonomous.png)](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/1-autonomous.png) #### Manual control mode There are two ways to switch to manual control mode: - Click the **Pause** button, located at the bottom of the side panel. - Directly use **the manual controls** at the top of the side panel. The platform displays a notification signalling the mode change. Autonomous execution is suspended and the Mission Unit responds exclusively to commands issued in real time. The available movement controls are: - **Dog Movement** Directs the Robot Dog's movement. - **Body height** Adjusts the height of the robot's body. - **Tilt** Adjusts the forward-backward tilt of the body. [![2 - Manual Control.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/2-manual-control.png)](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/2-manual-control.png)

Adjusting the **Tilt** disables the movement control. It is still possible to modify the **Body height**, but the Robot Dog cannot move until the Tilt is reset to its default value.

To return to autonomous mode, click the **Resume** button, which replaces the **Pause** button at the bottom of the side panel. In both modes, next to the Pause/Resume button, two essential commands are always available: - **RTH (Return to Home) Concludes the mission** and automatically brings the Robot Dog back to the **Mission Home**. [![3 - Return to Home.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/3-return-to-home.png)](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/3-return-to-home.png) - **Abort Interrupts the mission**, leaving the robot in its current position. [![4 - Abort mission.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/4-abort-mission.png)](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/4-abort-mission.png) --- ### PTZ camera controls and standalone actions If the PTZ camera is installed, during the live mission it is possible to manually control it on three axes: - **Pan** Horizontal rotation of the camera. - **Tilt** Vertical tilt. - **Zoom** Image magnification or reduction. To access the PTZ controls, select the desired add-on from the **side panel**. The **dedicated component** will be displayed automatically. ![5 - PTZ Add-ons.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/scaled-1680-/5-ptz-add-ons.png) Using the **directional arrows** you can orient the camera in the desired direction. The **Reset** button, visible only after a change from the initial position, restores the camera to its default values: - **Pan/Tilt:** 0° - **Zoom:** 1x The current Pan, Tilt and Zoom values can be viewed **on hover** over the camera view. ![6 - PTZ Values.jpg](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/scaled-1680-/LOy6-ptz-values.jpg) PTZ controls are available in both **autonomous mode** and **manual control mode**. During mission execution it is also possible to perform **independent camera actions** from those configured on the **Waypoints**. To execute an action, hover over the **camera view**. A **contextual toolbar** will appear at the top of the page with the available actions: - **Photo** Captures an image. - **Video** Starts or stops a video recording. [![4- Standalone Camera Actions.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/scaled-1680-/VAt4-standalone-camera-actions.png)](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/VAt4-standalone-camera-actions.png)

Standalone camera actions do not modify the mission configuration and do not affect the planned Waypoints.

--- ### Media management During live execution, all acquired media is **saved automatically**. [![7 - Saved Media.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/scaled-1680-/Z2J7-saved-media.png)](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/Z2J7-saved-media.png) Media captured during the execution of a **Waypoint** can be found in the corresponding **Waypoint (Archived)** after the mission ends. Media captured outside of Waypoints, via **standalone camera actions** (photo or video), is saved in the **Mission (Archived)** section. --- ### Links - [Initial Setup](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/books/mission-planner-wR9/page/initial-setup "Initial Setup") - [Archived Missions](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/books/mission-planner-wR9/page/archived-missions "Archived Missions") --- ![flag-italy-1f1ee-1f1f9.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/aiMflag-italy-1f1ee-1f1f9.png) **Italian version** Dopo l'avvio, la missione entra in **modalità live** e sarai in grado di vedere la **posizione del Robot Dog** in mappa. La **posizione** e **l'orientamento** del Robot si aggiornano automaticamente. Da questo momento è possibile monitorare lo stato della missione in tempo reale e intervenire tramite i controlli disponibili nel pannello **Missions**.

Disponibile solo con permessi di accesso all'**App** e il **pre-check** della missione completato con esito positivo.

--- ### Modalità di controllo della missione Durante l'esecuzione viene sempre mostrato lo **stato corrente della missione**. È possibile seguire la missione in **modalità autonoma** o gestirla in **modalità controllo manuale**. #### Modalità autonoma In **modalità autonoma** il Robot Dog esegue la missione automaticamente, seguendo la sequenza di **waypoint** e **azioni** *[configurate durante la pianificazione](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/books/mission-planner-wR9/page/robot-dog-create-and-start-a-mission "Robot Dog – Create and start a mission")*. [![1 - Autonomous.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/1-autonomous.png)](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/1-autonomous.png) #### Modalità controllo manuale Per passare alla modalità di controllo manuale sono disponibili due opzioni: - Cliccare il pulsante **Pausa**, situato nella parte bassa del pannello laterale. - Utilizzare direttamente **i comandi manuali** nella parte alta del pannello laterale. La piattaforma mostra un avviso che segnala il cambio di modalità. L'esecuzione autonoma viene sospesa e la Mission Unit risponde esclusivamente ai comandi impartiti in tempo reale. I controlli di movimento disponibili sono: - **Dog Movement** Direziona lo spostamento del Robot Dog. - **Body height** Regola l'altezza del corpo del robot. - **Tilt** Regola l’inclinazione anteriore-posteriore del corpo. [![2 - Manual Control.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/2-manual-control.png)](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/2-manual-control.png)

Modificando il **Tilt**, il controllo di movimento si disabilita. È ancora possibile modificare la **Body height**, ma il Robot Dog non può spostarsi finché il Tilt non viene riportato al valore di default.

Per tornare alla modalità autonoma, clicca il pulsante **Riprendi**, che sostituisce il pulsante **Pausa** nella parte bassa del pannello laterale. In entrambe le modalità, accanto al pulsante Pausa/Riprendi, sono sempre disponibili due comandi essenziali: - **RTH (Return to Home) Conclude la missione** e fa rientrare automaticamente il Robot Dog alla **Mission Home**. [![3 - Return to Home.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/3-return-to-home.png)](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/3-return-to-home.png) - **Abort Interrompe la missione** lasciando il robot nella posizione in cui si trova. [![4 - Abort mission.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/4-abort-mission.png)](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/4-abort-mission.png) --- ### Controlli camera PTZ e azioni standalone Se la camera PTZ è installata, durante la missione live è possibile controllarla manualmente sui tre assi: - **Pan** Rotazione orizzontale della camera. - **Tilt** Inclinazione verticale. - **Zoom** Ingrandimento o riduzione dell'immagine. Per accedere ai controlli PTZ, seleziona l'add-on desiderato dal **pannello laterale**. Il **componente dedicato** verrà visualizzato automaticamente. ![5 - PTZ Add-ons.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/scaled-1680-/5-ptz-add-ons.png) Utilizzando le **frecce direzionali** puoi orientare la camera nella direzione desiderata. Il pulsante **Reset**, visibile solo dopo una modifica rispetto alla posizione iniziale, riporta la camera ai valori di default: - **Pan/Tilt:** 0° - **Zoom:** 1x I valori correnti di Pan, Tilt e Zoom sono visualizzabili **in hover** sulla vista della camera. ![6 - PTZ Values.jpg](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/scaled-1680-/LOy6-ptz-values.jpg) I controlli PTZ sono disponibili sia in **modalità autonoma** sia in **modalità controllo manuale**. Durante l'esecuzione della missione è inoltre possibile eseguire **azioni camera indipendenti** da quelle configurate sui **Waypoint**. Per eseguire un'azione, porta il cursore sopra la **vista della camera**. In alto nella pagina compare una **toolbar contestuale** con le azioni disponibili: - **Photo** Acquisisce un'immagine. - **Video** Avvia o interrompe una registrazione video. [![4- Standalone Camera Actions.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/scaled-1680-/VAt4-standalone-camera-actions.png)](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/VAt4-standalone-camera-actions.png)

Le azioni camera standalone non modificano la configurazione della missione e non influiscono sui Waypoint pianificati.

--- ### Gestione dei media Durante l’esecuzione live, tutti i media acquisiti vengono **salvati automaticamente**. [![7 - Saved Media.png](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/scaled-1680-/Z2J7-saved-media.png)](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/Z2J7-saved-media.png) I media acquisiti durante l'esecuzione di un **Waypoint** sono consultabili nel corrispondente **Waypoint (Archiviato)** al termine della missione. I media acquisiti al di fuori dei Waypoint, tramite **azioni camera standalone** (foto o video), vengono salvati nella sezione **Mission (Archived)**. --- ### Collegamenti - [Configurazione iniziale](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/books/mission-planner-wR9/page/initial-setup "Initial Setup") - [Missioni Archiviate](https://wiki.eaglearca.com/books/mission-planner-wR9/page/archived-missions "Archived Missions") --- ***Last update:** 15 May 2026*
