Remote Robot Execution through WWW Simulation

Nowadays, every industry's goal is to improve their manufacturingprocesses and to increase their cadence of production, in order to be competitive. This goal usually implies a higher automation level (i.e. an increase on the number of robots used in theproduction chain) and also a more eficient use of the existing robots. Thispaper shows the state of art on teleoperation and simulation systems and proposes some possible network architectures devoted to the development of such systems. A method for the optimization of robot tasks is also suggested. The application proposed can teleoperate a robot arm withfive degrees of ji-eedom through Internet by using a previous simulation system and visual feedback. Thissimulation can be accessedsimultaneously by diferent workers. As a result, the number of robots required can be reduced on new applications or dangerous environments.
