Abstract

Robots may allow human beings to physically interact with remote objects and environments. This possibility is known as robot teleoperation and permits to operate in conditions or environments dangerous for human operators. Although teleoperation was among the first developments in robotics back in the 1950’s, still nowadays there are important and difficult challenges for researchers and scientists, showing the intrinsic difficulties of this fascinating field of robotics.
