Telerobotics and Teleoperation for Telepresence and Tele-Reality
Teleoperated robots are being deployed in many ways. For example, they may be used in nuclear plants, infectious disease wards of a hospital, bomb defusal, burning buildings, or wildfires - anywhere a human might be exposed to hazards. The human operator can be anywhere, sitting comfortably maneuvering the robot with HoboLoco's foot controller and operating its end-effectors at the same time.
