The website blocks me, but assuming this is about a system that allows a worker to do manual labour at a distance, it might be the most interesting use case for robotics right now. AI struggles really bad with complex physical environments - even the most controlled, public roadways, have proven to be a research money pit. There's no reason you couldn't just transmit human movements to a robot with similar mechanical capacities, though, and sensory information the other way. The acronym makes it sound like that's what this is.
