Abstract :
Robot remote control is a major subfield of robotics. It has many potential applications, such as remote production monitoring, remote exploration and manipulation in dangerous environments, tele-surgery, tele-teaching, etc. The paper proposes an approach to develop a robot remote control system by combining a 3D graphical model of the robot and its environment with Web based control software. The 3D graphical model of the environment and the robot is to get a more realistic interface which can help the user to control remotely the robot or part of the robot, such as the arm, for easier manipulation.
