This work is a bibliographical review about different models used to design teleoperated manipulator controllers, there is a quick description of some advantages and disadvantages to implement conventional or intelligent techniques (Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic) to develop control systems applied to these devices. In addition, here the teleoperation systems are descriptively presented; finally there is a specialized section that shows some control strategies in order to deal with signal delays, inherent to manipulator teleoperation. In the last section some important applications for these systems are described.
