Abstract

Recently, there are increasing interests of integration between robot services and the Internet, and many remote control services using robots have been proposed. In order to control robots remotely, we generally use images and videos captured by robot cameras and fixed cameras, but image quality is fluctuating with a change of network condition. The fluctuation has an effect on operational accuracy of remote control robots. In this paper, we propose the method controlling quality of camera images according as network condition for a virtual campus tour service using robots.
