Multi-site, IST-robots teleoperation

Multi-site, multi-operator architecture having various IST-robotic agents is believed to be a generic teleworking concept. This study deals with the architectural and technical design of those systems. Feedback is considered to be visual, auditory and haptic or any combination of these. This architecture can also serve as a basis of concurrent engineering prototyping eventually by replacing parts of the IST-robot by virtual representation of mock-ups. The technical development focuses on an operator controlling at a distance a humanoid robot interacting with an onsite human.
