Remote Manipulative Control with Transmission Delay

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The nature of remote manipulation is briefly discussed and several manipulator devices are described. The problem of manipulation with delay is considered, and an experiment to determine the effect of delay on completion time for a simple manipulative task is reported. It appears that under certain circumstances the time required with delay can be predictd from performance measures which are independent of delay.
