Abstract :
In April 24, 1997, at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Albuquerque, an operator pulled a joystick in Albuquerque that controlled the motions of a Puma robot in Tarn´s laboratory more than 1,500 kilometers away. The teleoperations feat was a major step for the burgeoning field of robotics, and it was a giant leap for telecommunications, adding a previously unexplored dimension to the Internet-remote control and providing new horizons for other applications in long-distance learning, research opportunities, and hands-on experimentation. The event-based planning and control scheme has been extended to solve the challenging problem in intelligent control of manufacturing systems
