http://vered.rose.toronto.edu/Teleoperation.htmlETC-Lab Publication List

The ETC-Lab is one of the Human Factors Laboratories in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto. Research topics include human factors and ergonomics issues related to telerobotics, stereoscopic displays, Virtual Reality, and Augmented Reality. The ETC-Lab is the creator of ARGOS, an augmented reality system, and ARTEMIS, a system for Virtual Telerobotic Control. This site is clearly laid out and contains plenty of information. Some of the publications on their teleoperation research are available on-line.

This impressive looking page describes the research and development program in human factors for telerobots at the Robotics & Process Systems Division (RPSD) of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Information is available about the division's mission, essays, photos, publications and interesting links.

http://www.lsr.ei.tum.de/~martin/research/teleoperation.htmlTeleoperation in uncertain communication environments

A brief page outlining the study of teleoperation systems with gracefully degrading communication channels. It includes an application to telemachining and experimental study with a teledrilling system. Other research topics include Real-time control optimisation, On-line grasping force optimisation for dextrous manipulation, Hybrid discrete-continuous dynamic systems, Control of multi-fingered dextrous hands, Advanced mechatronic systems, Nonholonomic underactuated robotic system R2D1, Multimodal telepresence, Teleoperation systems in uncertain communication infrastructures and Touch feedback to the human hand.

Teleoperation is the performance of work at a distance and this Web page gives an introductory description of teleoperation and its uses.

http://www.cs.utah.edu/~jmh/Haptics.htmlHaptic Interfaces for Teleoperation and Virtual Environments

This site gives details of the general interest in the design, control, and application of haptic interfaces in teleoperation and virtual environments. Specific interests include the interfacing of a haptic interface to a CAD/CAM system, the use of a haptic interface in scientific visualisation, the real-time networking of a haptic interface with workstations, the verification of master control of simulated slave arms in synthetic environments by comparisons with master control of real slave arms in real environments, the incorporation of human operator dynamics into master arm control and comparative evaluation of haptic interfaces. Currently there are three haptic interfaces in the Biorobotics Laboratory, Sarcos Dextrous Arm Master, Pantograph and Phantom.

The Web presence for the Institute for Teleoperated Space Development. The purpose of the institute is to open Space for humankind by early use of teleoperated robots. Information available on the site includes discussions on "Why should teleoperated robots lead the way into Space?" and "How can such robots be used to prepare the way for humankind?". Links to additional information about teleoperation, robotics, and Space can also be found.

http://ranier.oact.hq.nasa.gov/telerobotics_page/telerobotics.shtmThe NASA Space Telerobotics Program

The NASA Space Telerobotics Program is designed to develop telerobotic capabilities for remote mobility and manipulation, by merging robotics and teleoperations and creating new telerobotics technologies. The program is focused on three specific mission or application areas: on-orbit assembly and servicing, science payload tending, and planetary surface robotics.

This Web site contains plenty of information including the program overview, major projects, plans and publications, participants and facilities, technologies, photo archive, robot tools, cool robot of the week, Internet robot resources and real robots on the Web.
