Modular remote controlling system operating modes.
| Operating mode | Actuation speed | Ideal number of modules | Pros | Cons |
| Absolute master-slave mapping | User-dependent | 4 | Natural operation | User dependent action speed control | Delayed master-slave mapping | Set to 0.1 rad/sec | 4–6 | Predictable conformation | Unpredictable positioning and orientation | Preprogrammed | Set according to the desired action | 4–6 | Locomotion | No user interaction |
