Networked Robots: Ten Years of Experiments.

As a feasibility study in 1994, we built a system that allows a robot manipulator to be teleoperated by the public via the Internet. Access control became a primary issue: in subsequent networked robot systems we explore techniques ranging from user queues, multitasking, vector averaging, and geometric optimization. These systems are also designed to suggest questions about human perception and expectations about technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
