Immersive Telepresence & Telerobotics

Immersive Telepresence & Telerobotics

High-fidelity remote control of industrial machinery via VR/haptics.

Advanced telerobotics combines low-latency 5G, stereoscopic VR, and haptic feedback to allow human experts to 'inhabit' robots from anywhere. This enables remote maintenance of hazardous nuclear/chemical facilities, undersea repair, and the 'tele-commuting' of skilled welders or surgeons to sites globally.
