1. Teleoperation method for remote control of a machine by a human operator using a remote control unit, comprising the following steps:
- determining vestibular data representing the motion of the machine,determining a vestibular feedback on the basis of the vestibular data of the machine, wherein the vestibular feedback represents the real motion of the machine,providing said vestibular feedback to the operator to enhance situational awareness of the operator,filtering said vestibular data,determining said vestibular feedback on the basis of said filtered vestibular data, wherein said filtering of said vestibular data ensures that said vestibular feedback complies with safety restrictions or mechanical restrictions of a robot carrying the operator so that a collision of the remote controlled machine with another flying object or with the ground is not reproduced by the vestibular feedback, andproviding said vestibular feedback to the operator by a multi-axis serial manipulator comprising several links connected by joints.

13. Human robot interface for remote control of a remote-controlled machine by a human operator using a remote control unit, wherein
the human robot interface provides a vestibular feedback to the operator to enhance the situational awareness of the operator, the vestibular feedback represents a motion of the remote-controlled machine, the interface comprising a filter for filtering vestibular data, so that the vestibular feedback is determined on the basis of said filtered vestibular data, wherein the filtering of said vestibular data ensures that said vestibular feedback complies with safety restrictions or mechanical restrictions of a robot carrying the operator so that a collision of the remote controlled machine with another flying object or with the ground is not reproduced by the vestibular feedback, and a multi-axis serial manipulator for providing the vestibular feedback, wherein the multi-axis serial manipulator comprises several links connected by joints.
