Internet Telerobotics for Multi-Agent Mobile Microrobot Systems – A New Approach

In this article a new approach of designing multiagent Internet telerobotic systems is described. The architectural innovation includes two interfaces, either of them lays between Human Interactive Computers (HICs) and the Task Interactive Computer (TIC), which provides supervisory control services required by a particular multiagent Internet telerobot systems, the other provides agent interconnect services. As an example implementation, an autonomous multi-agent mobile robot system is presented. This article analyzes the specialties of the piezo-legged multi-agent microassembly station and deals with the realization questions of the supervisory control concept on such kind of systems through the Internet keeping the reference model in sight.
