No Place I’d Rather Be: The Future of Telepresence
summary
Describes working prototypes and measured limits: a four‑finger humanoid robot hand that deforms fingertips, a remote manipulation demo across ~1,000 km, and a patient trained with a brain‑implant‑to‑exoskeleton connection to walk. Lists concrete ingredients—wearable sensors, robot actuators, local processing and a comms link—and quantifies constraints: haptic rendering needs ~200 Hz update rates, latency and cost (haptic gloves still cost more than a car) remain the main barriers to scale.
