Robotics Automation Engineer
Telexistence is not only about teleoperation, but also about automation now. Automation is one of the most important features to have robots truly capable of executing real problems in human society. However, automation is not enough either.
We need both teleoperation (i.e. human intelligence) and automation (i.e. machine intelligence) combined. By letting automation learn from human support, real problems could be solved to a magnitude better compared to automation by itself.
