Teleoperation Control for Robotic Systems in Hazardous Environments: Overview and Challenges

摘要

Robotic teleoperation is one of the most common techniques used to control robots from safe distances, ensuring effective manipulation in hazardous environments such as nuclear facilities, disaster-affected areas, deep-sea, or space exploration. In certain applications, the operator may need to monitor or feel the environment and the objects being dealt with for either better manipulation, or increased safety, so there should be sensory feedback to the operator in such applications. This review investigates the foundational principles, inherent challenges, and recent advancements in teleoperation control, with a particular focus on its deployment in hazardous settings. Several promising directions are identified and discussed with the suggested platform for future research. This paper concludes by addressing ongoing research challenges and prospective developments in the field.
