Remote assistance

Remote assistance in automated driving is event-driven advice from a remotely located human to a driverless vehicle, which stays in control and never steers or brakes.

Remote Associates Test

The Remote Associates Test (RAT) is a psychometric test that measures creative thinking by asking respondents to find a fourth word linking three seemingly unrelated words.

Remote broadcast

A remote broadcast, also known as a live shot, is a radio or television program produced and transmitted from outside the studio, such as a stadium or news scene.

Remote C–H borylation

Remote C–H borylation converts carbon–hydrogen bonds at positions distant from any directing group, typically meta or para on arenes, into versatile carbon–boron bonds using templates and ligand design.

Remote C–H functionalization

Remote C–H functionalization is the chemical conversion of a carbon–hydrogen bond located far from any reactive functional group, using strategies like chain-walking, templates, and radical hydrogen atom transfer.

Remote C–H functionalization via 1,5-HAT

Remote C–H functionalization via 1,5-HAT is a radical strategy in organic synthesis in which an intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer moves a radical to a distant C–H bond for functionalization.

Remote C–H functionalization via radical relay

Remote C–H functionalization via radical relay is an organic synthesis strategy in which hydrogen-atom transfer forms a diffusible carbon radical that a separate reagent then functionalizes.

Remote call forwarding

Remote call forwarding (RCF) is a telephone service in which all calls to a number are automatically forwarded by the central office switch to another number.

Remote center compliance

A remote center compliance (RCC) device is a passive structure mounted between a robot arm and its gripper that corrects misalignment during automated assembly without sensors or feedback control.

Remote consultation

A remote consultation is a complete episode of clinical care between patient and clinician without face-to-face contact, by telephone, video, or secure messaging, as defined in NHS England guidance.

Remote control

A remote control is a handheld electronic device used to operate another device, such as a television, from a distance; infrared remotes became standard in the 1980s.

Remote Desktop Protocol

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is Microsoft's protocol for remoting a graphical session, transferring display data to the user and input commands to the remote computer.

Remote Desktop Services

Remote Desktop Services (RDS), formerly known as Microsoft Terminal Services, is a Windows Server role that delivers remote desktops and applications to users over the network.

Remote direct memory access

Remote direct memory access (RDMA) is a networking technique that lets one computer read or write memory on another machine directly, without involving its CPU or operating system.

Remote epitaxy

Remote epitaxy is an epitaxial growth technique in which a film grown through an atomically thin 2D layer such as graphene aligns with the underlying substrate.

Remote ID

Remote ID (Remote Identification, RID) is a requirement for drones to broadcast identification and location information, which the FAA describes as a digital license plate for safety and law enforcement.

Remote keyless system

A remote keyless system lets a key fob lock, unlock, and often start a car without a physical key; the 1982 Renault Fuego was the first.

Remote maintenance of fusion devices

Remote maintenance of fusion devices, known as remote handling, is the robotic repair and replacement of reactor components, required because neutron activation makes human access impossible.

Remote optically pumped amplifier

A remote optically pumped amplifier (ROPA) is an erbium-doped fiber amplifier in an unrepeatered link, powered by pump light delivered through the fiber from a terminal tens of kilometers away.

Remote patient monitoring

Remote patient monitoring is a healthcare practice in which patients use connected medical devices to collect physiological data at home and transmit it to clinicians for review.

Remote Play

Remote Play (PS Remote Play) is Sony's free PlayStation feature that streams games from the player's own PS4 or PS5 console to phones, tablets, PCs, Android TV, other consoles, or the PlayStation Portal, requiring at least 5 Mbps internet.

Remote procedure call

A remote procedure call (RPC) lets a program invoke a procedure executing on another computer over a network, written to resemble an ordinary local procedure call.

Remote refuelling machine

A remote refuelling machine, in CANDU reactors called a fueling machine, replaces spent fuel bundles with fresh ones while the reactor continues running at power.

Remote sensing

Remote sensing is the measurement of Earth's surface from a distance, using aircraft or satellites. It divides sensing by platform into airborne or spaceborne and by energy source.

Remote state preparation

Remote state preparation is a quantum communication protocol where a sender who knows the target state uses shared entanglement and classical communication to prepare it remotely.

Remote surgery

Remote surgery, or telesurgery, is a technique in which a surgeon operates on a patient at another location by sending commands over a network to robotic instruments.
