... of the last ground teleoperated robots made in the military sector are SARGE, Warrior and The Talon, all of them developed by the United States Army and Taifun-M developed by the Russian Army. A representation of The Talon teleoperated system can be seen in Figure 2. Hazardous Duty teleoperated vehicles are those pre- pared to work in tasks with a very high risk of danger like bomb disposal, nuclear accidents exploration and bad weather conditions rescues like tsunamis or torna- does. ...

... complete bilateral teleoperation system [16] is basically composed by some fundamentals parts, the operator, that controls the robot remotely, the own robot or teleoperated vehicle, situated at the remote place, and the control system of the robot. A basic and com- plete bilateral teleoperation system, used normally in vehicle teleoperation, (see [17] for a brief overview of vehicle teleoperation system description) is represented in Figure 12. As we can see, a bilateral system includes other important and necessary parts that are involved in the control loop of the robot such as sensors, actuators, input devices and feedback devices. ...

... Actuators are devices that apply control systems commands in order to produce an effect in the environment (pick an object) or in the own robot (movement). They are not included in the scheme shown in Figure 12 because they are considered internal to the robot. ...

... this case, time delay problem (see [22]) is obvious (the information takes normally several minutes to arrive to other planets) because of the distance between the teleoperation station and the remote place, so the designers should work with it from the beginning. Due to the problems that time delay may cause, some of the teleoperated robots can incorporate some au- tonomous tasks (named before in Figure 12) to reduce manual control of the robot. Some of the automatic behaviors in vehicle teleoperation are related to path planning or autonomous movements allowing the op- erator to set only the target position of the robot. ...
