Teleoperation systems have been developed in order to manipulate objects in environments where the presence of humans is impossible, dangerous or less effective. One of the most attractive applications is micro telemanipulation with micropositioning actuators. Due to the sensitivity of this operation, task performance should be accurately considered. The presence of force signals in the control...

|A new approach to the design of teleoperation systems is presented. It is proposed that the teleoperation slave be a coarsene manipulator with a ne-motion wrist identical to the teleoperation master. By using a combination of position and rate control, such a system would require only small operator hand motions but would provide low mechanical impedance, high motion resolution and force feedb...

In the presence of communication latency in a bilaterally controlled teleoperation system, stability and transparency are severely affected. In this paper, based on a passivity framework, admittance-type and hybrid-type delay-compensated communication channels, which warrant different bilateral control architectures, are introduced. Wave transforms and signal filtering are used to make the dela...

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 scheme as a representative example to illustrate the typical components and functional modules of these systems. Some specific topics in the field are particularly discussed, for instance, control algorithms, com...
