Abstract:

Remote manipulator operations require a high level of telepresence. This can be achieved by a combination of tactile audio and visual links used in association with an effective deployment system for the slave arms. The combination of these elements has been termed the 'bridge between master and slave' by the author. Each component is reviewed in the context of remote underwater and nuclear operations with the conclusion that certain cost effective enhancements can be made to the ways in which we acquire sensibility to the remote environment and in which we view mechanical design of more complex deployment systems.
