Abstract: Firstly the error control techniques applied to communications of common robot teleoperation systems are described.Then according to the communication channel characteristics of space robot teleoperation systems,Reed-Solomon(RS) code is recommended as the error-correcting codes for telemetry and telecommand data in space robot teleoperation systems.And the software implementation of a general RS code encoding and decoding algorithm in Galois field is introduced.In the end,the error probability is analyzed for a space robot teleoperation prototype system.
