Controlling machines from afar

Futurum

It is not possible for many students to be physically present to operate such machines, including learners in rural areas or those without access to transportation. Students will learn to identify the patterns of the simulation and are ill-equipped to recognise truly random faults caused by physical issues in the real world.”
