Book excerpt: In the field of Mobile Robotics applications dedicated to inspection or intervention in hostile, unreachable or unstructured environments, human operators are "processed" in the control loop developed for a Telepresence System. On the one hand dynamic situations suffer from a lack of automation degree by mobile robots but on the other hand a complete task robotisation can run counter to economic or human constraints. In mine clearance activity for instance. mobile robots and especially teleoperated semi-legged robots can be seen as a solution, not to replace the mine clearance specialists, but as a safe tool for human operators in some well-defined situations. As human interaction with a machine is often oriented towards application, the teleoperation of a mobile robot under geometrical constraints is not easy to achieve if no training period occurred previously for the operator. A foothridge exists between training and relevant missions on navigation tasks: a real activity with a mobile robot can be prepared in a micro-world - a virtual world or an Augmented Reality world.
