Abstract

Describes steps toward building a Web-based telerobotic system for both research and teaching at Essex University. The system has standard network protocol and interactive human-machine interface. Using a Web browser, a remote operator can control and/or program a mobile robot to navigate in our laboratory while receiving visual feedback and simulated local perceptual map via the Internet. The employment of an intuitive user interface enables both researchers and students to control and program mobile robots and to do some experiments remotely
