Telerobotics Lindsey White and David Senter
Wirelessly-controlled robots • Many applications in modern science What Are They?
Medical • Mining • Space Exploration • Dangerous Material Handling Applications
Prosthetic limbs • Endoscopic robots Medical Applications
Allows exploration and mining in less accessible places because robots can function in unsuitable conditions for human life Mining
Similar to mining, allows exploration in non-life-supporting conditions (space) • Also allows remote operation of telescopes Space Exploration
The Hubble Space Telescope is a famous example of a space telerobot. Scientists all over the world can operate it from earth to view different parts of the sky. Space Exploration (cont’d)
So no humans are put in danger, telerobots can be used to handle dangerous materials. (e.g. radioactive waste) Dangerous Materials
An old website which allowed users to remotely care for a real garden using a robotic arm. • Made by University of Southern California TeleGarden
