Mobile robot teleoperation using local storage

Abstract

We propose a teleoperation system with intelligent data carriers (IDCs). An IDC is a device that turns the working environment to an agent. By using IDCs for teleoperation system, the required sensing ability of the robot can be reduced because the robot can take the information about its working environment from IDCs that are placed in the remote site. This implies the effectiveness of an implicit collaboration among the operator, the robot and the environment. Experiments have been carried out using the real network and system.
