Teleoperation System of the Internet-based Omnidirectional Mobile Robot with A Mounted Manipulator

Abstract

A platform of the Internet-based teleoperation system with an omni-directional mobile robot which has a five DOFs robot arm is constructed. Remote control of the robot through the Internet is implemented. The system is featured as low-cost and user interface friendly: remote users can control the robot through the Internet just by a client program in a general computer. The client computer can receive the live video and environment information measured by sensors. With the help of the remote video and the local simulation, users can easily communicate with the robot. Different modules are proposed and the implementation method of the system is presented. Related experiments are conducted to test the validity of the proposed system.

“…In developing a field robot system, therefore, the proper design of the user interface is a crucial part of the teleoperation system [8][9][10].…”

A novel platform for internet-based mobile robot systems

“…To be effective, a research project may focus on only one single specific aspect and a common experimental platform is usually desirable for the purpose of implemental verification; however, significant work will be needed to build an experimental platform from scratch. Several Internet-based robot platforms therefore have been proposed with their strengths and limitations [9][11] [12].…”
