Few telerobotic devices have flown in space (the remote manipulator system (RMS) on the Space Shuttle is the principal one that has flown), and proposed telerobotic systems have ballooned in cost to the point where the U.S. no longer has any funded flight telerobotic programs. Three possible alternative systems with limited scope, but with significant research and even operational promise are described. These include systems or research in effective control of (possibly flexible) arms in microgravity, despite long communication latency, and for inspection of elements of spacecraft such as Space Station Freedom.
