teleoperator

n. a remote-controlled device or system that augments the operator’s physical capabilities while remaining immediately responsive to his or her control (unlike fully automated robotics). Some teleoperators are designed to imitate the body movements of the operator. Teleoperators are used in space, underwater, on high buildings or other inaccessible structures, and in dangerous tasks, such as landmine clearance.
