Abstract

Teleoperation means to operate a robot or a system from a distant location. Teleoperation is useful when the operating environment is dangerous, or impractical or when achieving a specific vehicle for inspection environment is too expensive. Mobile robots can be considered as an example of a teleoperation system because they can be remotely controlled to perform certain specific tasks. This paper is a review of existing teleoperated mobile robots and reports the current progress in this area.
