Abstract

We have been developing prototypes of teleoperation systems via a standard protocol with a standard human interface, where VRML2.0 is employed as the protocol and a Web browser as the human interface. Using a Web browser, an operator can plan motions of objects interactively on a manipulation simulator with a world model which was sent from a remote site via VRML. The employment of a standard protocol and human interface enables our teleoperation system to be used by non-specialists from any Internet site, or by anyone from anywhere, without installing any specific software on the client side a priori
