Teleoperation

Teleoperation is the remote control of machines or robots by a human operator, often using sensors, cameras, and haptic feedback to perform tasks from a distance. It is widely used in environments that are dangerous, distant, or require high precision, such as space exploration, underwater missions, surgery, and industrial maintenance. In robotics and AI, teleoperation also plays a key role in training autonomous systems by allowing them to learn from human actions through imitation or reinforcement learning.
