Abstract

We propose a multimedia framework built on a flexible architecture designed for collaborative interaction of people and robots through the Web. Users can communicate to each other exchanging text, audio and video messages. Besides, it provides a flexible interface for people to interact with robots, for robots with people, and among robots themselves, for example, allowing a robot to communicate to another one. One or several users can communicate with one or more robots and also receive information from them. Robots can be remotely controlled through the use of keyboard, joysticks, data glove, and voice commands. A user can perceive other users through a virtual environment and receive the video from an environment, in which the robot is
