Telerobotics would be orders of magnitude more productive for exploration than semi-autonomous robots like the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity

Telerobotics would be orders of magnitude more productive for exploration than semi-autonomous robots like the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity, says NASA's George Schmidt, an organizer of the Exploration Telerobotics Symposium earlier this month at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
These systems are already in use on Earth in surgery and oceanic exploration, but communication time lags would need to be overcome in space. The most plausible way to have robotic telepresence on Mars would be to station astronauts in orbit around the planet. Telerobtics will make exploration in asteroids and distant planets like Venus, Jupiter possible with precision and control.
