This paper describes a concept called virtual image and discusses its applications to
telerobotics. The virtual image is a graphical tool which allows the operator to see the …

The system described is used in teleoperated robotics to give the human operator a visual
aid for the perception of the remote scene and for the robot command in case of indirect …

Teleoperation effectiveness was almost stagnant during several decades since the
discovery of the master-slave structure by Goertz in the 50s; in spite of some technical …

This paper describes the ongoing research work on developing a telerobotic system in
Mechatronic Systems and Robotics Research group at the University of Surrey. As human …

The basic operational scenario for many application domains is to deploy nonhuman system
components in the hazardous workspace and keep the human operator away from the …

This chapter presents an overview of the teleoperation of robotics systems, starting with a
historical background, and including the description of an up-to-date specific teleoperation …

Advanced graphics interfaces for space telerobotics applications are illustrated by examples
developed at the JPL Advanced Teleoperation Laboratory.

The execution of teleoperated tasks is based on the visual feedback of the working scene
through TV cameras located adequately in the working environment. Common problems in …

Due to the complexity of teleoperation tasks, human operators figure in the teleoperator
perception-decision-control loop. The operator needs an interactive system to handle the …

Efficiency in teleoperation systems is strongly affected by the relationship between the
operator and the remote environment. If the operator has access to easily comprehensible …
