Here is one of the proposals for a robotic Hubble servicing mission:

Why do people keep calling it a 'robotic' servicing mission when it's
clearly a 'teleoperated' servicing mission?

I'm very skeptical it can be pulled off by teleoperation, if you consider
the unforseen problems the human crew had to overcome and only just managed
to solve.

Do any of these teleoperated machines have any sensory ('feel') feedback?
That seems pretty crucial to me in repariing something as delicate as the
Hubble.
