Teleoperation enables human operators to control remote machines (robots, vehicles, manipulators) in real-time, extending presence into hazardous or inaccessible environments.

Teleoperation is the critical link (human-machine system) for performing tasks where direct presence is impossible or unsafe. This technology relies on low-latency communication, real-time sensor data (lidar, video), and advanced human-machine interfaces (HMI: joysticks, haptic devices) to give the operator control and situational awareness. Key applications include deep-sea operations via Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), nuclear site decommissioning (like Chernobyl's sarcophagus construction), and remote surgery. NASA utilizes this extensively: the Mars Perseverance rover, for example, is teleoperated, navigating a significant 11-to-40-minute round-trip communication delay to execute commands and collect data.
