Abstract
The present developmental level of modern techniques allows the automation of practically all technological operations, including those employing robots. A rather intelligent robot may now be created that can exclude the necessity for direct human operator (HO) control. On the other hand, there are always situations in practice that are not accounted for in robot software. Therefore, various remote control systems governed by a human have been explored. The HO has a number of shortcomings as a system control element. At the same time, he/she possesses unsurpassed abilities to recognize “situations” and to make rapid and usually adequate judgments to deal with them.
