Future Directions in Tele-operated Robotics
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines a number of key areas of current research in tele-operated robotics that could have a significant impact on future directions and applications. Although accurate prediction is notoriously difficult the paper will aim to ground its conclusions through reference to current research literature. Following a generic description of the key elements in tele-robotic systems, the paper briefly reviews two areas of relevance to future directions: semi-autonomous tele-operated robots and the miniaturisation of tele-operated robots. The paper then takes a third key area and describes, in greater depth, current work in the author’s laboratory in integrating wireless communications, Internet protocols and adaptive video compression.

Laparoscopic Surgical Robot for Remote In Vivo Training
The Laparobot is a tele-operated robot designed specifically for training surgeons in advanced laparoscopic techniques. The Laparobot allows a student to practice surgery on a remotely located animal. The system uses standard laparoscopic tools for both the student’s control interface and for performing the in vivo surgery, thereby providing a realistic training platform for non-robotic laparos...

Attitudinal Change in Elderly Citizens Toward Social Robots: The Role of Personality Traits and Beliefs About Robot Functionality
Attitudes toward robots influence the tendency to accept or reject robotic devices. Thus it is important to investigate whether and how attitudes toward robots can change. In this pilot study we investigate attitudinal changes in elderly citizens toward a tele-operated robot in relation to three parameters: (i) the information provided about robot functionality, (ii) the number of encounters, (...

In the rush into cyberspace we leave our physical presence and our real-world environment behind. The internet, undoubtedly a remarkable modern communications tool, still does not empower us to enter the o ce of the person at the other end of the connection. We cannot look out their window, admire their furniture, talk to their o ce mates, tour their laboratory, or walk outside. We lack the equ...
