Abstract :
This paper discusses research on computer supported cooperative work in design (CSCWID) with robots included. As a result of this research, we present here a framework of CSCWID with robots involved. Three types of collaboration are supported: human to human (H2H), human to robot (H2R) and robot to robot (R2R). A few key techniques, such as robotics on Internet, remote sharing and control, cooperative controller, project management and data transfer and parsing with XML format are detailed. The work in this paper can help to develop a cooperative system with multi-users and multi-robots.
