- There is an intermediate regime, called "teleprogramming", that
- utilizes a local simulation of the environment, with a VR-style
- interface similar to what would be used for teleoperations. The
- simulation catches most of the operator errors, minimizing the impact
- of the time delay. See the first issue of MIT's _Presence_ journal.
