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.
