The robot and the cockpit are connected via the internet. The connection is P2P after passing through the authentication server. The robot follows the head and arm movements of the operator, providing easier operation than with a joystick. The built-in camera and microphone send video and audio from the location to the operator, allowing for the possibility of real-time communication using conversation as well as gestures.
