Systems and methods for an image-assisted remote control vehicle are provided. An image-assisted remote control system may include a motion controlled device such as an image-assisted remote control vehicle and a remote control device. The motion controlled device may include one or more imaging modules, such as a thermal imaging module and/or a non-thermal imaging module. An infrared image of a part of a track may be captured using the infrared imaging module. A boundary of the track may be detected using the infrared image. The operation of the vehicle may be modified based on the boundary. Modifying the operation of the vehicle in this way may provide a remote controlled vehicle with the ease of use of a slot car track set, the flexibility of remote control cars and the ability for a user to design their own track.
