The Basic Idea • Robots are controlled locally • The internet can be used as a link between the robot and its control panel • A simple web browser can be used to fully control the robot
System Requirements • A robot arm • Computer controlled robot controller • PC running as the robot server • An HTTP server running the robot client program • A WWW forms capable browser
Flow sequence - command path • Browser request received by HTTP server • HTTP server initiates cgi-bin program • Cgi-bin program sends a command over a TCP/IP socket to the robot server • Robot server receives command, interprets it, applies inverse kinematics, and sends it to the robot controller via RS-232C link • Robot controller actually moves robot
Flow sequence - Feedback path • Controller sends “end of movement” signal to the robot server • Robot server grabs a picture of the robot and sends it to cgi-bin program over TCP/IP socket • Cgi-bin program receives the picture, generates a HTML page and sends it to the WWW browser • Browser shows the current robot position
Future goals • Queuing access control system • User timeout controller • Distance learning screens • Stereoscopic positioning control • Velocity control • Sensor controlled gripper
