Teleoperation of an Industrial Robot in an Active Production Line

The aim of our research is to develop an industrial internet telecontrol architecture for robots in an active production line. The main objective is to realize teleoperation and telemaintenance tasks, which on the one hand meet user needs of the industry partners and can on the other hand be performed over the common Internet. The involved research fields are human supervisory control, networked control systems and bandwidth management. This report describes the results of some preliminary studies carried out in different test beds and the real plant. Furthermore, it outlines the resulting teleoperation architecture which is an application of current robotics and control research.
