Haptics and Teleoperation
Haptics means the sense of touch. Teleoperation is remote controlled robots. Haptic Teleoperation means that you can control a remote robot and feel (some) interaction forces from the real remote environment. This is useful for e.g. surgery, space and underwater operations.
