The Future of Avatar Robotics

The developing field of avatar robotics allows the user to control a robot at a distance, seeing what it sees and feeling what it feels. Other groups are working on disaster recovery avatars. These are robots that are sent in after earthquakes or terrorist attacks or fires. The idea is that they can be piloted by drivers that are sitting somewhere else that's safe. They haven't yet heard of people using strange bodied avatars, but they certainly could.
