Web Based Telematics Application for Robotics

Abstract

The paper presents the work for development of a telematics application for robotics field. First, it was developed a client-server application and then a Web based application. A range of remote experiments with a mobile robot with particular emphasis on motor control, obstacle avoidance, image processing and their application to trajectory control can be done by the users. The users learn the microcontroller programming, sensor use, path planning, trajectory following. The idea is for the users to be able to perform real experiments, in real time, on real equipment, but over the Internet. The remote user is connected by Internet to a dedicated computer used for controlling and monitoring the mobile robot.
