Abstract

This paper presents the current work on the development of a tool for remote control of mobile robots. The tool consists of a local controller on the robot side and a user interface for simulation and remote control that connects with the robot through the network. The user interface is implemented as an HTML page with a Java applet for remote control and communication and a virtual environment written in VRML for visualization. This way users have the ability to connect to a dedicated WWW server and download the user interface. This paper describes the concept of the tool design and the developed user interface.
