Using resource-bonded sensing in telerobotics

Investigates the use of resource-bounded sensing to increase the performance of telerobotic systems. By examining the role of sensing in telerobotics, the authors isolate several desirable sensing functions to be performed. They then review the state of the art in sensor data fusion and point out some of the limitations of current technology, particularly for use in unstructured environments. Methods more suitable for unstructured environments require information about the goals of the operator. They also describe what information the operator must supply, and how it may be entered into the system.<>
