Telepresence: Actual and Virtual delves into the rich history of telepresence, spanning from the early advancements in master-slave manipulation in 1948 to the cutting-edge technologies employed in diverse fields today. This comprehensive exploration encompasses the utilization of telepresence in space, underwater, surgery, telemedicine, hazardous environments, policing, surveillance, agriculture, construction, mining, warehousing, education, amusement, social media, and numerous other contexts. It also provides detailed descriptions of the various operator hand and body controls and the corresponding telerobotic actuation of robotic hands, arms, and locomotion.
In addition to reviewing the sensing and control technology, its historical development, and potential future trends, this book addresses critical research and policy issues arising from the increasing capabilities of telepresence. It raises important questions regarding social and ethical implications, particularly in light of the potential for individuals to engage in mischievous or harmful acts without being identified. This book aims to provide valuable insights for professionals engaged in human-robot interaction, human factors engineering, virtual reality, space and undersea exploration, telemedicine and telesurgery, firefighting, mechanized agriculture, policing, drone surveillance, warehouse parts fetching, mining, and military operations.
