Abstract
Telerobotics connotes the technology of robotics controlled at a
distance by human beings. When a task involving physical exploration,
manipulation, and sampling is too dangerous or impractical to be
performed directly by a human being it may be suited to a telerobot. In
such a system, the human operator is physically removed from the task,
sends commands to the robot over a telecommunication system, and
receives information about the status of the task and its environment.
Teleoperation therefore involves augmenting, supervising, or
substituting artificial intelligence and control functions of the robot
with the intelligence and pattern recognition abilities of the human
operator.
This article will describe some of the applications, challenges, and
technologies of modern telerobotic systems while concentrating
primarily on remote manipulation. Most of the ideas in this article
will be applicable to other major segments of telerobotics, namely
remote control of vehicles or mobile robots, and micromanipulation
systems.
