Micro-teleoperation
0503001-129
[DEFINITION]
A technology for remotely manipulating (teleoperating) a microscopic
robot.
[DESCRIPTION]
Micro-teleoperation systems are systems in which humans give
instructions to microrobots to implement microscopic work. This remote manipulation technology,
which makes the remote operator feels as if he/she is actually at the scene of the operation, is
effective for operations requiring a precise manipulation in such fields as gene manipulation, cell
manipulation, and microscopic surgery or microsurgery. In addition, micro-teleoperation is also
effective for microscopic work such as inspection and repairs in areas that conventional machines
cannot reach. As the operability of teleoperation systems is highly dependent on the arm control
method, the development of a special micro-teleoperation arm control method is required. In
particular, when manipulating objects in the microscopic world where dynamic behavior differs from
the ordinary world, special control technology is required to realize a remote manipulation system
where the operator can feel the operation just as in real world manipulation.
