چکیده
EG: In the past year, six companies started selling telepresence robots [1]. I tested two of the robots myself, discussing at length their technical merits as well as their practical shortcomings. Telepresence robots didn’t come out of nowhere; they stem froma convergence of different technologies, each with its own history. The advent of robotic telepresence also reflects a powerful trend where many of us are becoming ever more connected and available. What made these robots possible now? What’s so appealing about roaming around as a machine in a remote place? And where is this technology taking us, literally and figuratively? To explore these themes, I spoke with Ken Goldberg (Figure 1), IEEE Fellow and engineering professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and a member of IEEE Spectrum’s editorial advisory board. When he’s not developing geometric algorithms for automation or prototyping robot cameras to spot wild birds [2] or computer-controlled flexible needles that steer through soft tissues [3], he’s delving into the interactions between technology, art, and media. If anyone can make a connection between robots andHeidegger, it’s Ken.

Telerobots, remotely controlled robots, are widely used to explore undersea terrains and outer space, to defuse bombs, and to clean up hazardous waste. Until 1994, telerobots were accessible only to trained and trusted experts through dedicated communication channels. This chapter describes networked telerobots, a new class of telerobots controllable over networks such as the Internet, that are...
متن کاملVirtual Repulsive Force Field Guided Coordination for Multi-telerobot Collaboration
The Intelligent Systems Laboratory (ISL) has been developing coordinated control technologies for multitelerobot collaboration in a common environment remotely controlled from multiple operators physically at a distance from each other. We have built a test bed and conducted a series of experiments, where we learned more about how the transmission delay over the network deteriorates the perform...
متن کاملSpace Telerobotics: Unique Challenges to Human–Robot Collaboration in Space
In this chapter, we survey the current state of the art in space telerobots. We begin by defining relevant terms and describing applications. We then examine the design issues for space telerobotics, including common requirements, operational constraints, and design elements. A discussion follows of the reasons space telerobotics presents unique challenges beyond terrestrial systems. We then pr...
متن کاملNetworked Robots: from Telerobotics to Cloud Robotics
As of 2013, almost all robots have access to computer networks that offer extensive computing, memory, and other resources that can dramatically improve performance. The underlying enabling framework is the focus of this chapter: networked robots. Networked robots trace their origin to telerobots, or remotely controlled robots. Telerobots are widely used to explore undersea terrains and outer s...
