Remote Data Transmission Middleware for Telerobotics

Telerobotics is the area of robotics concerned with the control of robots from a distance, using wire and wireless communications. The telerobotic system is built exploiting distributed computing system and Internet technologies. Distributed computing technologies provide several advantages to telerobotic system. In the distributed computing system, data channel management and data transmission are important because of unstable networks and firewall environments. This paper proposes remote data transmission middleware for telerobotics. The middleware provides easily transmission of data in a distance environment and automatically management of data channel. We implement the middleware and conduct empirical performance measurements.
