  Telepresence and teleoperation robotics have attracted a great amount of
attention in the last 10 years. With the Artificial Intelligence (AI)
revolution already being started, we can see a wide range of robotic
applications being realized. Intelligent robotic systems are being deployed
both in industrial and domestic environments. Telepresence is the idea of being
present in a remote location virtually or via robotic avatars. Similarly, the
idea of operating a robot from a remote location for various tasks is called
teleoperation. These technologies find significant application in health care,
education, surveillance, disaster recovery, and corporate/government sectors.
But question still remains about their maturity, security and safety levels. We
also need to think about enhancing the user experience and trust in such
technologies going into the next generation of computing.
