Abstract

A system for WWW-based remote robot tele-operation is presented. It addresses important problems of Internet telerobotics such as “how do we make the system reliable?”, “how do we make the system fast?”, and finally, “how do we make the system open and portable?”. The recent open technologies Java and Java3D are used for developing the system. Key features of the system are: (1) the Java3D based “live” virtual representation of the real robot and its environment, and (2) the use of a powerful tool for the remote programming of the robot. Possible applications of the teleoperation tools developed and methods within VR are also briefly discussed
