            Appeal No.  2000-1852                                                                     
            Application No.  08/924,856                                                               


                  Assuming, arguendo, that it would have been obvious to                              
            utilize the multiple camera view of Beamish in Christian’s system                         
            for navigating a robot, as held by the Examiner, the combination                          
            of references would still not disclose the mounting of three                              
            video cameras on three mutually perpendicular axises.  In that                            
            regard, Beamish only supplies what appears to be multiple views                           
            by multiple cameras which are capable of movement about two                               
            perpendicular axis.  Accordingly, as the Examiner has failed to                           
            establish a prima facie case of obviousness, the 35 U.S.C. § 103                          
            rejection of claims 7 and 9 cannot be sustained.
