Remote robot execution through WWW simulation

Abstract

This paper shows the state of art teleoperation and simulation systems and proposes some possible network architectures devoted to the development of such systems. A method for the optimization of robot tasks is also suggested. The application proposed can teleoperate a robot arm with five degrees of freedom through Internet by using a previous simulation system and visual feedback. This simulation can be accessed simultaneously by different workers. As a result, the number of robots required can be reduced on new applications or dangerous environments.
