Teleoperation
The mode of robotic operation in which a human operator directly controls the robot's actions in real time through a command interface. A teleoperated robot is still a robot by the three-part definition: its sense-compute-act loop runs continuously (the robot maintains stability, executes commanded motions, and responds to contact forces automatically) even though a human provides the high-level direction.
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 2 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Foundations of Robotics and Physical AI.
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.

The legitimate practice of a human operator directly controlling a robot's actions, often used for data collection or capability bridging during development. Disclosed and clearly labeled teleoperation is honest engineering practice; undisclosed teleoperation presented as autonomy is not.
