Prototype design of the plug-and-play desktop robotic system

This work presents a prototype of a desktop robotic system that enables plug-and-play function to Internet through a USB (universal serial bus) port of a personal computer (PC). Thus a new kind of PC peripheral is invented that has manipulability on desktop. The robotic system is realized on an internally distributed control structure that facilitates higher system reliability. An open control platform is considered. The PID algorithm is at present embedded for system control.
