Dstl and the
NDA, who are keen to realise the potential benefits of such technologies in the nuclear sector.
The Telexistence competition aims to develop and demonstrate innovative technologies and novel solutions that have the potential to give military and government personnel, emergency services, or humanitarian workers the capability to operate in hazardous environments without physically being present.
Ultimately, this capability will allow a human operator to perform complex tasks and operate equipment from a safe distance.

This is the culmination of several years of developing the concept of Telexistence inside
Dstl from the idea of combining different areas of emerging science into the concept of projecting human presence into a remote environment and immersive feedback for the operator.
