An Internet-based Telerobot Design and Implementation

A PUMA562 robot has been connected to the Internet and can be controlled through the web browser. The remote user receives still images of robot workspace, coordinates and gripper state and can control the gripper to pick up blocks and place them to build a structure. An Internet server and a robot server were built to implement this telerobot system. This two-layer server architecture can be used in other Internet-based telerobot system without changing most part of the system.
