A Remote Robotics Laboratory on the Internet

The Manchester Remote Mobile Robotics Laboratory

Remote access to robotics facilites allows robotics research to be conducted even if resources are not available locally. To investigate the feasibility of robotics experimentation via internet, we have conducted two independent experiments in which the Manchester mobile robot FortyTwo has been operated from a remote site,using a standard internet connection. In the rst experiment (\Channellink...

Pattern-based architecture for building mobile robotics remote laboratories

− The building of remote laboratories for laboratory experiments in mobile robots requires expertise in a number of different disciplines, such as Internet programming, telematic and mechatronic systems, etc. Remote laboratories offer students access to complementary experiments, not available at their own university, as support to lectures. An intuitive user interface is required for inexperie...

Effect of temperature stress on the survival of juvenile Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis)

Eriocheir sinensis, which is an important aquaculture species, belongs to the class Crustacea. To discuss the temperature tolerance of E. sinensis, the survival rates of juvenile crabs of E. sinensis were determined in this paper using a series of temperature settings (normal temperature, 25°C, 30°C, 32°C, 34°C, 35°C, 36°C, 38°C, 40 °C). The results indicated that except the normal temperature ...

Virtual environment for telerobotics

A common problem faced by institutions concerns the limited availability of expensive robotics and control equipment, with which students in the educational program can work, in order to acquire valuable 'hands on' experience. The Multiple Manipulators for Training and Education (MuMaTe) virtual control and robotics laboratory was launched on the World Wide Web (WWW). Its aim was to evaluate th...

A novel teleoperated long-reach manipulator testbed and its remote capabilities via the Internet

During the 1995 DOE Robotics Forum at Albuquerque, New Mexico, Georgia Tech's Intelligent Machine Dynamics Laboratory demonstrated remote display capabilities. of its telemanipulated long-reach manipulator testbed through the Internet. This paper describes the testbed and addresses the methods, limitations, and capabilities of remote operations.
