Cognitive audio-visual infocommunication applied in remote support for industrial robot systems

Recently industrial robot systems are widely introduced in SMEs. An inexpensive and immediate support for the systems must be provided, therefore. The paper quantitatively evaluates whether the support can be provided remotely by means of cognitive audio-visual infocommunication. The evaluations are made up with an aid of experimental system that consists of local and remote rooms, which are physically separated - an industrial robot system is situated in the local room, whereas the operator, who exercises control over the system, is situated in the remote room. The results show that cognitive infocommunication is an efficient mean to provide the support remotely, not only for industrial robot systems, but most likely for any multivariable dynamic systems.
