Lessons learned from a novel teleoperation testbed

Purpose Sets out to discuss lessons learned from the creation and use of an over‐the‐internet teleoperation testbed. Design/methodology/approach Seven lessons learned from the testbed are presented. Findings This teleoperation interface improves task performance, as proved by a single demonstration. Originality/value In helping to overcome time‐delay difficulties in the operation, leading to dramatically improved task performance, this study contributes significantly to the improvement of teleoperation by making better use of human skills.
