Abstract

This paper discusses human-friendly tele-operation for the next generation using robot partners through sensor networks. The emerging synthesis of robot technology, information technology, network technology, and intelligence technology based on cognitive psychology and brain science can be a key approach to realize human-friendly tele-operation. In particular, the strong link between collection, structuralization, and visualization of information through these technologies interacting with human interest and intention is the most important. First, this paper looks at the current research studies on tele-operation. Next, several examples are shown of human-friendly tele-operation of robot partners. Finally, the various types of technologies required for human-friendly tele-operation for the next generation are discussed.
