Redesigned Long-Distance-Controlled Robot System for distance education

This paper described the development of a new Long-Distance-Controlled Robot (LDCR) System for distance education. Distance education is a teaching method with the aim of delivering teaching to students who are not physically present in a traditional educational setting, such as a classroom. Although an educational technique that uses various technologies is designed for distance education, it is difficult to keep a student motivated to learning. Therefore, the new LDCR system was developed as one method of keeping and maintaining a student´s interest. In our developed LDCR system, students can operate robots at a physical site via the Internet. Because it is possible for two or more students to play a game in the LDCR system, students will be able to be exchanged mutually. In this paper, the outline of the new LDCR system that we developed is explained.
