Abstract

A new robot remote monitoring system has been developed. Running on PCs with Windows NT/2000 operating system and being developed with OpenGL, this system has the capacity of real-time simulating the motion of an industrial robot through stereographic 3D animation with ray tracing. Cooperating with real-time video transfer through Ethernet, users can monitor the behavior of the robot dynamically or even directly control the action of the robot if necessary. The hardware and software organization of the system has been described. The principle of 3D-motion simulation, stereographic display and the consideration of remote control and network communication has been discussed in detail.
