Remote Rapid Robot Arm Control Prototyping

Abstract

This paper describes two methods of education and training in a field of remote robotics model and task planning. One method presents a remote rapid robot control prototyping with a possibility of changing the model or the parameters of the control loop. The other method offers a limited version of robot control for the use of telerobotics, involving off-line Virtual Environments, commands for robot movements and collision detection of the robot. Limited version (more user friendly) of robot control runs on Remote Laboratory (RLab) system which is connected with the user via internet. When the model or programmed tasks of a robot are developed to the satisfaction of the trainee, they are exported to remote physical hardware, via the Internet, for the real world execution. I. INTRODUCTION The Remote laboratory approach is based on a concept that it provides a working facility for an off-line programming of an actual remote working robot arm. Training the trainee and students to work with expensive equipment, which is needed for carrying out some practical educational work tasks has long proved problematical. Remote execution of educational laboratory exercises and the feedback of rich data from the physical hardware site to the operator site, via Internet or Mobile Communications links, is bandwidth limited and contain uncertain delays.
