Teleoperating space robots. Impact for the design of industrial robots

The paper discusses the features of advanced telerobotic systems. ROTEX-the first remotely controlled spacerobot-serves as kind of a baseline. Future telerobotic systems need powerful man-machine interfaces which allow skill-transfer from human operator to robot and thus may be the foundations for new ways in industrial robot programming. VRML and JAVA open up wide potentials for telerobotic control via the Internet, including teleservicing and telepresence in medicine.
