  2. Introduction • Internet Era, Internet business, Internet education, Virtual Classroom • Internet Control • Virtual Laboratory???

  3. Introduction (2) • Examples of moving a robot through the corridors in a building of South Carolina State University, USA, from a building of Institute of Informatics, University of Skopje in Macedonia. • The experiments that we carried out show that there are emerging potentials of using web based robot control for educational purposes.

  4. Control of real robots • Multitasking control • Moore automata representation • Human bioelectric control • … more • Internet is entering the robot control. • Among many servers on Internet, the class of robot servers is now emerging and developing rapidly.

  5. Virtual and Physical Robots • A robot can exist in some place like for example a robotic lab, and an Internet user would be able to control the robot, taking into account the restrictions imposed by Internet. • The Internet based robot control is kind of the well-known concept of remote (teleprocessing) control.

  6. Hardware • Two-wheel moving box • The control of the movement is done by a sort of movement sensor. It measures the resistance of a wall, in its sensitive wheels (the robot keeps track of how many wheel revolutions it makes). Maximum speed of three feet per second. • Sound (clapping) sensor • “Done” sound

  7. Mounting hole Interface connector • Side view • Front view

  10. Intelligent Robotics • Building and having a MODEL of the local (and possibly the global) ENVIRONMENT • Can be achieved by LEARNING (self exploration of the environment) or by PROGRAMMING (a human programs the model into the robot memory) • Direct programming is faster

  11. Programming: VB predefined objects • Draw line • Draw box • Draw linepath • Draw vacuum cleaning path • activate camera view • Define hotpoint • Define checkpoint • etc

  16. Robotics Virtual Classroom • CS480 Introduction to Robotics: follow the class via Internet virtual classroom. • The robotics class is organized in two levels: • level of robot control, that uses the Probotics web- bots robot control server • the level of distant robotics education, which uses Espernet IRC server as chat - room • The students, using the web-bots robot server web site, take the appropriate action, and are able to follow the robot’s movement in response to the action they took. • The results of the robot’s movement or the photos are discussed on the virtual classroom.

  17. Results • Real robots in real environments • Internet based robot control (moving a real robot in a distant place) • Virtual classroom, chat, actual robot movement • Student having fun

  18. Opportunities • In education, virtual laboratories. • In improvement of distant robot control, including robot surveillance • Internet based personal robots.
