Text Correction

The first paragraph of Section 1 has been updated accordingly. The correct paragraph appears below:

Teleoperation robot systems have developed rapidly and been applied to many fields, such as space robots [1], remote surgery robots [2,3], teleoperation mobile robots [4] and so on. The general remote operation robot system mainly includes: a master module, operator module, master controller, communication channel, slave controller, slave, environment and so on. The frame diagram is shown in Figure 1. However, in the actual teleoperation mechanical system, it is difficult to obtain accurate mechanical parameters of the robot, such as mass, length, center of mass or moment of inertia, etc., resulting in the system dynamics parameters (inertia vector matrix, centrifugal force matrix and gravity term matrix) not being accurate, as well as uncertain external interference and mechanical internal friction, which are common in robot workspace control [5]. The complex working environment or the robot’s mechanical structure is, therefore, more complicated or can be destroyed. After modeling using mathematical models, these may be random or time-varying nonlinear functions. Therefore, we cannot accurately establish the mathematical model of the system. That is, the mathematical model of the system contains uncertainty. These problems are often encountered in teleoperation systems, and their manifestations are quite variable. Moreover, the uncertainty of these teleoperation system models not only affects the performance of the system but also makes the entire system unstable [6]. Therefore, how to solve the above problems has been a wide concern in the field of control [7].

There was a typographical error in Section 1.1, Paragraph 1. The “(28)” has been updated to “[28]”.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
