Teleoperation
Teleoperation is a technology that enables remote control of machines or systems, typically over a network, allowing operators to perform tasks from a distance. It involves real-time transmission of control commands and sensory feedback, such as video, audio, or haptic data, to facilitate precise manipulation in environments that are hazardous, inaccessible, or require specialized expertise. This concept is widely applied in robotics, surgery, space exploration, and industrial automation.
Developers should learn teleoperation when working on projects involving remote-controlled robots, autonomous systems with human oversight, or applications in telemedicine, disaster response, and space missions. It is essential for creating interfaces that ensure low-latency communication, robust safety protocols, and intuitive control mechanisms, enabling operators to interact effectively with distant environments without physical presence.
