Bridging Remote Operations and Augmented Reality: An Analysis of Current Trends

摘要

Teleoperation provides an innovative approach for completing tasks in environments where humans cannot be physically present, such as hazardous or difficult-to-reach areas. Augmented Reality (AR) enhances this process by overlaying critical information directly into the user’s field of view, streamlining task execution and spatial awareness. This paper presents a comprehensive topical review of recent trends in both teleoperation and AR, highlighting their integration to improve remote human-machine interaction. We analyze advancements in both technologies, identify practical applications, and offer insights into their convergence in fields such as aerospace, medical robotics, and industrial automation. By examining academic publications and statistical trends from major databases, we project the future trajectory of AR-teleoperation and discuss potential challenges in implementing these systems, particularly regarding latency, cognitive overload, and security. This topical review aims to provide a detailed analysis of the state of the art and offers insights for future research in this rapidly evolving field.
