Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The forklift truck drivers who never leave their desks
Teleoperation is a technology that controls semi-automatic machines, vehicles, or robots from a distance by using fast telecommunication like Wi-Fi and 5G. It’s like a remote control. As more high-speed and reliable telecommunication infrastructures like 5G become available, it is expected to become more common in various areas like remote surgeries, robot operations, and even forklift truck driving in warehouses. This way, skilled surgeons, operators, and drivers can do their jobs from their workplace miles away, which could save time, resources, and money. Imagine operating a bulldozer out in the Sahara Desert in summer or Siberia in winter. How long an operator could work at a time? How much would it cost to have a human go and work in such remote places? Who would dare to work in such a harsh environment?
One day, AI robots will do such jobs autonomously. But for now, teleoperation sounds like a viable method to make use of the skills of humans economically to do the job from distance. However, such a remote operation system must be well protected from hacking or abuse.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about teleoperation.
