Teleoperation System of the Internet-based Omnidirectional Mobile Robot with A Mounted Manipulator

A platform of the Internet-based teleoperation system with an omni-directional mobile robot which has a five DOFs robot arm is constructed. Remote control of the robot through the Internet is implemented. The system is featured as low-cost and user interface friendly: remote users can control the robot through the Internet just by a client program in a general computer. The client computer can receive the live video and environment information measured by sensors. With the help of the remote video and the local simulation, users can easily communicate with the robot. Different modules are proposed and the implementation method of the system is presented. Related experiments are conducted to test the validity of the proposed system.
