Teleworkbench: A Teleoperated Platform for Experiments in Multi-robotics

Robot development is a highly complex and interdisciplinary process. It comprises several phases: design, implementation, as well as test and validation to name some of them. In test and validation, simulation is commonly used. However, experiments with real robots still have a very important role since simulations cannot accurately model the real environment and, as a result, produce inconclusive results [1]. Performing robotic experiments, however, is considerably tedious. It is a repetitive process consisting of several steps: setup, execution, data logging, monitoring, and analysis. Moreover, it also requires a lot of resources especially in the case of experiments in multi-robotics.
