From: Slava Prazdny <Prazdny at SRI-KL> The concept of a telepresence could greatly benefit by considering the "Intelligent manipulators". These things would typically containa bare minimum of "AI" to be able to perform requests like: "pick up that thing (the operator points to a screen location) and put it over here (again pointer to a screen location)"; or "go over there (pointer to a screen location) using this route (operator points to a set of points on the screen)". Perhaps, sometime in the future (100 years?), these commands could be generated by the machine itself. I have some scriblings on these matters, so if you are interested..... -Slava.
