By now it is well recognized that remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are replacing both free swimming human divers and manned submersibles in a variety of deep ocean inspection and work tasks. At the same time NASA is designing for their Space Station a new generation of teleoperators (devices for doing work at a distance from the human operator's eyes and hands e.g., ROVs which include at least one manipulator arm). This paper outlines some relevant history and concepts of teleoperation and discusses some current trends in the development of this technology, emphasizing in particular the relation between human operator and teleoperator. A number of examples are described of teleoperator research in the MIT Man-Machine Systems Laboratory over the last twenty years.
