A modern Mellanoid Slime Worm spacecraft, the Ice Giants Explorer. Intended to launch in 2383, it ended up fast-tracked and launched under a completely different mission. It would have explored the four ice giants of the Zwo-Nmu system: Glarpi, Shpler, Euaua, and Flible, with a possible mission extension to distant, never-before-seen planet Schmidt. It's depicted here using its T.E.N.D.R.I.L. (Teleoperated extendible-node robotic interface limb) to deploy one of its many robotic probes to land on a small captured satellite of Shpler, S/2351 S2.

The spacecraft has two main propulsion systems, a fission-impulse drive and a pulsed warp engine. The fission-impulse drive are modified solid-core nuclear-thermal-rockets utilizing subspace field coils on the exhaust end similar to those utilized on starfleet impulse drives. However, the power generation for those impulse coils is provided by a fission reactor, instead of a fusion reactor. This results in approximately a doubling of the specific impulse of the engine while preserving thrust characteristics.

The pulsed warp engine uses a bank of high-density capacitors charged using the fission reactors, to provide short bursts of warp speed. Modern mellanoid transwarp coils can provide speeds of up to warp 5 on the new scale, but are bottlenecked by the power generation and storage rate. As such the pulsed warp drive technology is currently not usable for interstellar exploration, but it does allow for much faster intra-system manuevers. (The bright photon-wakes visible from many astronomical units away, and their associated radiation hazards, are considered an acceptable risk.)

The robots at the Tesla event being tele-operated is so funny to me, mostly because I keep thinking about what it must be like to be one of the people doing that. Like, rich people paying you to serve drinks, but you're doing it through a machine that cost tens of thousands of dollars? This is some scifi dystopia stuff. Actually, I think I must have seen it before somewhere, but Surrogates is the closest that comes to mind, and that was people teleoperating fit, attractive robots to live their ideal lives, which is kind of the opposite.

I'm feeling really compelled to cook up a short story about teleoperated robot maids. Maybe some The Jetsons fanfic where Rosie is being run by someone in South America.

obsessed with this video, demonstrating live teleoperation of a humanoid robot using body-tracking VR, where the engineers used boxing a punching bag and speed ball as a demonstration of the ability for the robot to make fast movements and resist impacts while actively controlled by a human, because half the comments were critiquing the operator's boxing form and half were making suggestions for design changes for the robot that could make it better at boxing

Elon Musk has promised that his EV company Tesla will roll out “fully autonomous” vehicles in the next few years. Musk recently unveiled what he called the “Cybercab” and said that Tesla plans to launch a robotaxi service by 2026, competing with other big-name brands currently operating in the space. However, “fully autonomous,” as Musk has used it, might be a bit of a misnomer. Recent reports show the company is planning to hire a human team to remotely troubleshoot its robotaxi operations.

A recently spotted Tesla job listing advertises a role to build out a remote teleoperations team for the firm’s upcoming robotaxi fleet. “Tesla AI’s Teleoperation team is charged with providing remote access to our robotaxis and humanoid robots,” the listing notes, highlighting an additional need to assist Musk’s nascent line of Tesla robots. “Our cars and robots operate autonomously in challenging environments. As we iterate on the AI that powers them, we need the ability to access and control them remotely,” the listing states.

The job post also notes that such a teleoperation center requires “building highly optimized low latency reliable data streaming over unreliable transports in the real world.” Tele-operators can be “transported” into the robotaxi via a “state-of-the-art VR rig,” it adds.

Tesla would not be the first robotaxi company to use this method. In fact, it’s an industry standard. It was previously reported that Cruise, the robotaxi company owned by General Motors, was employing remote human assistants to troubleshoot when its vehicles ran into trouble (the vehicles appear to have run into trouble every four to five miles). Google’s Waymo is also thought to employ the same practice, as does Zoox, the robotaxi firm owned by Amazon.

On a Wednesday afternoon in August, Daniel Posada and his girlfriend were screaming at each other at a bus stop when someone called 911. From a rooftop a mile away, the Chula Vista Police Department started the rotors of a 13-pound drone.

The machine lifted into the air with its high-resolution camera rolling. Equipped with thermal imaging capabilities and a powerful zoom lens, it transmitted a live feed of everything it captured to a sworn officer monitoring a screen at the precinct, to the department’s Real-Time Operations Center, and to the cell phone of the responding officer racing to the scene.

It flew northwest at 392 feet above the southwestern border town, a suburb of San Diego, passing near a preschool and a church, then near a financial services center used by Chula Vista’s immigrant communities to send money to their families. En route to Posada, the drone—a Matrice 300 RTK—would cross the airspace of 23 blocks, potentially exposing thousands of Chula Vista residents to the gaze of law enforcement over an incident that had nothing to do with them.

Posada was riding his bike down the street when he heard it—the distinct buzz of a police drone’s rotors over his head. Within seconds, a police car pulled up alongside him, and an officer was soon rummaging through his pockets, he would later tell WIRED. For Posada, who’s known as “Focal” in the homeless encampment where he stays, this was neither the first nor the last time he would feel singled out by the cops or their drones.

Police department records show that no one—neither the officer monitoring the drone feed nor the person who called 911—observed any kind of physical altercation between Posada and his girlfriend that day. He says the argument wasn’t serious and that it didn’t warrant such a high-tech police response. (His girlfriend could not be reached for comment.) The money would be better served feeding and clothing unsheltered people like himself, he says, whose lives are upended every time officials break down their encampments, tossing their worldly possessions into a dumpster.

“I could understand sending a drone for something serious,” he says, shaking his head. “I feel like a target.”

As police departments look to expand their use of unmanned aerial aircraft, no agency has embraced the technology quite like the CVPD. A model for police departments around the United States, “some police officers joke that visiting the Chula Vista Police Department is like visiting Mecca,” says Jay Stanley, author of a 2023 American Civil Liberties Union report on police use of drones.

In October 2018, the city became the first in the nation to start a Drone as First Responder (DFR) program, where department teleoperators listening to live 911 calls decide when and where to dispatch the department's growing fleet of drones. Now those devices criss-cross the skies of Chula Vista daily—nearly 20,000 times since 2018—and are often first to appear above the sites of noise complaints, car accidents, overdoses, domestic disputes, and homicides.

The department says that its drones provide officers with critical intelligence about incidents they are responding to ahead of initiating in-person contact—which the CVPD says has reduced unnecessary police contacts, decreased response times, and saved lives. But a WIRED investigation paints a complicated picture of the trade-offs between public safety and privacy.

In Chula Vista, drone flight paths trace a map of the city’s inequality, with poorer residents experiencing far more exposure to the drones’ cameras and rotors than their wealthier counterparts, a WIRED analysis of nearly 10,000 drone flight records from July 2021 to September 2023 found. The drones, often dispatched for serious incidents like reports of armed individuals, are also routinely deployed for minor issues such as shoplifting, vandalism, and loud music. Early in the Covid-19 pandemic, the city even used drones to broadcast public service announcements to homeless encampments.

Despite the police promoting the benefits of the DFR program, residents who encounter the technology day-to-day report feeling constantly watched. Some say they are afraid to spend time in their backyards; they fear that the machines are following them down the street, spying on them while they use the public pool or change their clothes. One resident says that he was so worried that the drones were harassing him that he went to the emergency room for severe depression and exhaustion.

The police drones, equipped with cameras and zoom lenses powerful enough to capture faces clearly and constantly recording while in flight, have amassed hundreds of hours of video footage of the city’s residents. Their flight paths routinely take them over backyards and above public pools, high schools, hospitals, churches, mosques, immigration law firms, and even the city’s Planned Parenthood facility. Privacy advocates argue that the extensive footage captured by the drones makes it difficult to distinguish between flights responding to specific incidents and mass surveillance from the sky. Department secrecy around the recordings remains the subject of ongoing litigation.

The CVPD insists that its drones do not conduct random surveillance, do not go out in search of suspicious activity, and that the technology is deployed only in response to 911 calls or lawful searches. An analysis of Chula Vista’s dispatch logs supports this claim: The vast majority of drone flights could be linked to corresponding 911 calls. But not all of them.

At the time of our analysis, approximately one in 10 drone flights listed on the department’s transparency portal lacked a stated purpose and could not be connected to any relevant 911 call; for 498 flights, the department lists the reason as an “unknown problem.” For residents we spoke to, the discrepancy raises serious concerns about the accuracy and reliability of the department's transparency efforts—and experts say the use of the drones is a classic case of self-perpetuating mission creep, with their existence both justifying and necessitating their use.
