This either ends with Gundams or a real-life version of that movie 'Surrogates'

This could have significant real world applications, from interplanetary or undersea exploration (sending a robot avatar instead of a human would be much safer and cheaper) to using them for intrinsicly dangerous tasks, such as search and rescue or maintaining/repairing high radiation areas in nuclear reactors.
It could even be used by soldiers/police in bomb disposal, hostage negotiations or reconnaissance.

Everything has its pros and cons. As a telecommute admin who was impacted heavily by advances allowing more distant outsourcing, I can see where this has the potential to create the same thing with the physical labor market
