Don't Merge - Will introduce some images and demonstrations. The robot differentiates the telepresence and telerobotics. -Tmcsheery March 23, 2006
It is important to note that the Telerobotics article in Wikipedia contradict an article on the same subject in a printed encyclopedia - "McGraw-Hill Yearbook of Science & Technology, 2006." The printed article argues that telerobotic technolgoy is advance enough in the terms of vision and senses to be able to do most of the work with little or no human interaction. On the other hand, the Wikipedia article argues that this technology needs to be more "human-like"in order to be efficient. I urge you to make an update if needed to your article. Thanks, Marla.
McGraw-Hill is in error. JVD.
[edit] Merger with teleoperation
I support the merger of teleoperation into a section of this article. If someone wants to expand that section dramatically, that will be the time to break out teleoperation into its own article. Sdsds 05:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
i also support the merge even if telerobotics and teleoperation was to be taken deeper the two topics are fairly hard to seperate as robotics and mechanical engineering are 50/50 in both feilds...

- According to Murphy, "Introduction to AI Robotics", teleoperation is the correct term for this topic. To speak of "telerobotics" is slightly misleading, because the term "robot" is applied to the mobile, kind-of-autonomous thing, while the machines welding and painting cars are called "industrial manipulators"; teleoperation can be applied to both, so there is not necessarily a link with robots in a more narrow sense. So I think the articles should be merged under teleoperation. -- 790 20:53, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Don't merge. I believe teleoperation and telerobotics are two distinct and very different topics. Teleoperation does not refer to any autonomous operation, simply the fact that a machine is being operated over a video system with the operator in complete control of every movement. Whether the system is tethered or radio remote controled makes no differece. Teleoperation requires realtime response with almost no delays. A 250ms delay is all that is required to demolish a $1M plus piece of equipment. There are no "let me do that agian". Telerobotics makes reference to "robotics", which implies some autonomous functionality with supervisory control via video, "tele". Program a set of movements, push a button, see if the desired action happened. Correct or enter new instructions. Repeat. Realtime response and realtime video feedback are not required.
