ADVANCED TELEOPERATION TESTBED - A SYSTEM YOU CAN SEE THROUGH

To remove humans from hazardous environments ''good'' teleoperated rob otic systems are needed. ''Good'' is defined here to mean a system whi ch is task centred and which is transparent to the user - in other wor ds, a system you can see through. A teleoperated robotic system which strives towards this goal is described by way of illustration. The fun damentals that have helped to achieve this are: design and build from a task centred viewpoint, careful design of the Human Computer Interfa ce (HCI) and special consideration for the systems integration task.
