Remote controlled robot arm

摘要

The paper describes a method of education and training involving off-line usage of virtual environments (VE) for task planning. When programmed tasks of a robot arm in the virtual world are developed to the satisfaction of the trainee, they are exported to a remote physical hardware, via the Internet, for the real world execution. The on-line feedback data from the robot arm and live video picture are sent back to the remote client via Internet. Development of the Remote Laboratory (RLab) system connected with a remote controlled on-line video system and the training experiments are discussed, along with some of the issues raised for telerobotics.
