Telepresence is achieved if the human operator of a technical system is provided with the impression of actually being present in a remote environment. Teleaction emphasizes that the operator is not only present passively, but also able to interact actively with the remote environment. High-Fidelity indicates the operator can hardly distinguish immediate actions in a local environment from interactions with a remote environment utilizing a multi-modal telepresence and teleaction system.
Goal of the collaborativeresearch centre is to overcome barriers between the local operator and the remote environment. Barriers are formed, e.g., by spatial distances, inaccessible environments, and scaling tasks, as present in minimal invasive surgery or micro assembly. In addition to visual and auditory information the haptic modality plays an important role. The haptic sense comprises tactile (pressure, temperature, roughness, and vibration), and kinesthetic information (proprioception, forces).
