… why have the operator sit in the cab? If truly teleoperated, then wouldn’t it be safer for the operator to be in a room far enough from the robot so that if there is some accident that crushes the cab or sends electricity through it, there is no damage to the operator?

Because then you have to transport an additional cab / office with climate control and crush protection to site too.

And provide guaranteed comms between the two.
