Description - Telerobotic Applications by Tyler Schilling
These specially commissioned articles demonstrate a broad range of
task complexity and this should reward the reader with insights
into the difficulties routinely encountered in remote applications.
Examples are mainly taken from the nuclear industry and include
remote sampling systems, tele-operated vehicle and manipulator
systems, and climbing/walking robots for operation within hostile
environments. These systems
must negotiate impractically small openings, endure unreasonable
temperatures, and withstand various forms of radiation while
performing some difficult tasks. Such tasks characterize the set of
challenges faced by the authors who have contributed to this book,
and the solutions described demonstrate their ingenuity and
determination in overcoming those challenges. An interesting
overview also investigates future directions in tele-operated
robotics.
