VL Communication Tool Classes - person-to-equipment
person-to-equipment communication to control a network of tools
The control of the equipment can either be performed:
- interactively; typically called teleoperation.
- asynchronously with a predefined procedure, script, or program;
typically called teleprogramming.
Teleoperation scenario: scientist
gives commands to remote equipment. The equipment is typically a measuring device
(telescope, camera), a manipulator, or a probe. These commands may be of a strategic nature (move to position x,y
fill tank, explode, etc), while fine control will often be performed by the equipment itself, which
also prevents catastrophic behavior. The feedback channel (mostly video or sample streams) is used to inform
the remote scientist of the status of the system and whether a strategic goal has been achieved.
