Remote Control Robotics

Increasingly, robots are being used in environments inhospitable to humans such as the deep ocean, inside nuclear reactors, and in deep space. Such robots are controlled by remote links to human operators who may be close by or thousands of miles away. The techniques used to control these robots are the subject of this book. Readers are assumed to have a basic understanding of robotics though this may be their first exposure to the subject of telerobotics.
