Research Abstract |
In this report we introduced two actual systems to discuss the possibility of Robotic Network Systems (RNS). One was Mobile Robot System. The other was tele-handshake system. The mobile robot system was composed of mobile robot, MUSEAR,and tele-operation scheme. Operators could control the mobile robot away from the mobile robot place by seeing images which were sent from the mobile robot through the Internet/ISDN.We demonstrated that the mobile robot could do work as an intelligent agent by accomplishing physical tasks. The tele-handshake system was composed of two HandShake Devices (HSD). Each HSD could realize actual handshake feeling in human operators physically, i.e.a haptic interface. Two HSD were connected through the Internet between Tokyo and Osaka. They worked so that two people in Tokyo and Osaka could feel real handshake. This HSD playd an important role in Robotics Network Systems. We concluded that the robotic network system would be possible based on the results of the mobile robot system and the tele-handshake system.
