Abstract

A six axis robot has been connected to the World Wide Web at http://telerobot.mech.uwa.edu.au/. The robot was made available on the World Wide Web in September 1994 and has been through many revisions since that time. The remote user receives static images of the robot's work space and can manipulate wooden blocks.

The implementation and application of this interface to telerobotics is discussed. Useability and operator behaviour are investigated through analysis of movement records. Questions addressed are: What is the level of interest in this technique and is it a practical interface for telerobotics.
