A robotic field geologist, called Teleprospector, is proposed that would be teleoperated from a base on the moon, or possibly from the earth. For field work on Mars, Teleprospector could also be operated from a base in Mars orbit or on the Martian surface. The design incorporates telepresence, so the operator-geologist, though actually located thousands of kilometers away from the telerobot, has the sensation of being inside the body of the robot. The system could be equipped with superhuman sensory capabilities, such as multispectral eyes. This concept combines human intelligence with robotic capabilities, without risk to a human operator, yet still provides the operator with the important sense of personal involvement in the field work.
