Development of a Long-Distance-Controlled Robot System for Engineering Education

This paper described the outline of a long-distance- controlled robot (LDCR) system for engineering education. In the LDCR system, the players operate the robots on one physical site via the Internet. To confirm whether the developed system was able to be used, we held exchange association between the elementary schools in Japan by the robot game named ´ball rolling game´ using this system. It was clarified that our system could be used for the exchange association between the elementary schools from the results of the questionnaire. In addition, we tried the international exchange between Singapore and Japan using the system.
