Abstract

In this paper, we propose the Internet-based robotic system that uses Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) to implement networking connections between a client and a remote robotic system. The client can transparently invoke a method on a server across the network without any need to know where the application servers are located, or what programming language and operating system are used. This lets the system overcome the shortcomings of the other typical Internet robotic system. To cope with time delays on the communication path, we have implemented the robot control server, which allows the user to control the telerobotic system at a task-level. We have also implemented the live image feedback server, which provides live image feedback for a remote user. The proposed system gives the users the ability to operate the remote robotic system to retrieve and manipulate the desired tableware or other things to support the aged and disabled over the Internet by using the intuitive user interface.
