Abstract. Nowadays, there is great interest in developing telemedicine technologies. These technologies will provide health care from distance swiftly and lightly, as well as reduce the expenses for activities, such as rehabilitation. Telemedicine applications are possible due to the advances in information technologies and the ever-expanding communication network infrastructure. The network characteristics bandwidth, packet loss, latency, jitter and policies are crucial for the performance of tele-rehabilitation systems. Because in tele-rehabilitation human lives are at stake, guaranteeing the Quality of Service (QoS) is important. In this paper, an approach for assuring the QoS for information transmission in tele-rehabilitation systems is proposed.

“…Both implementations however, require high cost equipment and are developed based on proprietary software. In [8], web-based robot architecture is proposed, which enables the control of a robot by interacting with an advanced online graphical user interface with very promising results but the realtime constraint for control cannot be efficiently guaranteed.…”

The planning of construction process is crucial for successful project management and based on which all other sub-tasks and activities follow. Labourintensive construction process which relies on field workers' own intuition and interpretation, has been too complicated to control, which can lead to mistakes, wasted time, and fatal accidents in worst but commonly happening cases. In this sense, applying innovative techniques to on-site construction process for construction planning, scheduling, operation, and monitoring has the potential to assist stakeholders in making better decisions. A head-mounted display (HMD) such as Oculus Rift can visualize construction processes information anytime whether during on-site work or beforehand by providing realistic augmented superimposed environment which is captured via the proposed 2-DOF stereo head. Moreover, by calculating the physical movement (translation, rotation) of building components, which can be accomplished by reading physical, material property data from Building Information Modeling (BIM), and combining it with computational kinematics model of on-site robotic equipment, the field workers can have the digital information for off-site component assembly in real-time manner. This research develops a new methodology for integration of tele-operation with 4D modelling in order to improve building component positioning and erection in terms of efficiency and quality by operating onsite robotic system intelligently. Based on the proposed methodology, an intelligent remotely operated, considering the control and video streaming processes, virtual tele-presence system is prototyped. The proposed system is designed for tele-operated construction robots and comprises a 2-DOF stereo head, a pair of high spatial resolution cameras, and a head mounted display with integrated head tracking mechanism. To validate the proposed methodology, controlled laboratory experiments were designed and implemented.

“…Recently robots teleoperated over the web have become more common, such as [8]. See [13] for a discussion of several other robots teleoperated over the web. CoBot-2's web interface uses AJAX and HTML5 to display live updates of the robot's state in a web browser without the installation of any browser plugins.…”

Abstract. We investigate mobile telepresence robots to address the lack of mobility in traditional videoconferencing. To operate these robots, intuitive and powerful interfaces are needed. We present CoBot-2, an indoor mobile telepresence robot with autonomous capabilities, and a browser-based interface to control it. CoBot-2 and its web interface have been used extensively to remotely attend meetings and to guide local visitors to destinations in the building. From the web interface, users can control CoBot-2's camera, and drive with either directional commands, by clicking on a point on the floor of the camera image, or by clicking on a point in a map. We conduct a user study in which we examine preferences among the three control interfaces for novice users. The results suggest that the three control interfaces together cover well the control preferences of different users, and that users often prefer to use a combination of control interfaces. CoBot-2 also serves as a tour guide robot, and has been demonstrated to safely navigate through dense crowds in a long-term trial.
