Development of a general system for internet based remote measurement and control of robots

This paper introduces a recently developed Internet-based general measurement and con- trol software system. The system is designed using Java code based on B/S (browser/ server) mode, in which the functions such as network communication, devices identification and user management are encapsulated. The advantage of this software system is that new devices can be relatively easily identified, which is convenient for future development. By using two small mobile robots used for tele-education and remote environment monitoring, respectively, the applicability and the flexibility of the system have been validated.
