Experience of NASA Langley Research Center in teleoperation, telerobotics, and robotics in applications related to possible space tasks is reviewed. Shared control based on manual and sensor blending in a rate command control system made it possible to simultaneously control two or more manipulators executing a telerobotic task from a single hand controller. It is concluded that telerobotics combines the best features of teleoperation and robotics and is sufficiently mature for simple space tasks. Robotics is considered to be feasible but less mature and must be highly reliable.
