Remote handling refers to the process of manipulating or handling hazardous materials or equipment from a distance. This method reduces the risk of exposure and injury to the operator. In order to better understand the concept of remote handling, it is useful to explore some synonyms. These include "teleoperation", "telemanipulation", and "robotic handling". Teleoperation emphasizes the use of advanced technology, such as robots, in remote handling. Telemanipulation, on the other hand, puts emphasis on the operator's ability to remotely manipulate the equipment. Robotic handling refers specifically to the use of robotic technology in remote handling, highlighting the importance of automation in the process.
