Within EROC [expedient route opening capability], the role of the Buffalo is to uncover mines and IEDs [improvised explosive devices](disarming or detonating them if possible). Key to the role is the Buffalo's distinctive manipulator arm, an extensible crane tipped with a tined claw dubbed 'spork. ’The manipulator arm and 'spork’ are remotely-controlled from the relative safety of the armour cab – a camera and light are mounted on the arm giving the operator a close-up view on his monitor of any suspected IED. 2, record 3, English, - manipulator%20arm

An autonomous robotic refuelling system is being developed to achieve rapid aircraft turnaround, notably during combat operations. The proposed system includes a gantry positioner with sufficient reach to position a robotic arm that performs the refuelling tasks; a six degree of freedom manipulator equipped with a remote center of compliance, torque sensor, and a gripper that can handle standard tools; a computer vision system to locate and guide the refuelling nozzle, inspect the nozzle, and avoid collisions; and an operator interface with video and graphics display. 4, record 4, English, - autonomous%20robotic%20refuelling%20system

In the US, teleoperator refers to human-robot interfaces. In Japan, they call it "tele-existence". In either case, the foundation of the technology is the human experience of seeing out of the eyes of a machine, and using natural gestures to direct machines to manipulate the physical world. 7, record 5, English, - teleoperator

A technique for programming robot motion, usually following a continuous path motion, but sometimes referring also to teaching point-to-point motions by using a teach box. For continuous path motions, the operator grasps a handle which is secured to the arm and guides the robot through the desired task or motions while the robot controller records movement information and any activation signals for external equipment. This contrasts with off-line programming, which can be accomplished away from the manipulator. 1, record 6, English, - lead%2Dthrough%20programming
