Abstract
The low cost computer teleoperation system with a simple cable-driven manipulator is presented. The system is dedicated to employ it in small workspaces of laboratories with hazardous materials. It has been designed to play a role of a versatile laboratory assistant and to make replace laboratory staff in all actions that can be dangerous to human health or life. The constructed system is based on an inverted Stewart platform maneuvered by means of a common PC system. The cable suspended platform is predicted for installation various useful tools accordingly to requirements for different work environments or specific tasks.
