Real Robots The NASA Space Telerobotics Program

Real Robots on the Web:

ARITI- Augmented Reality Interface for Telerobotic applications via Internet - control a 4-DOF robot using a remote computer

Australian Telerobot - remotely operate a 6-DOF ASEA manipulator located at the University of Western Australia. Believed to be the first remotely operated industrial robot on the Web!

Bradford Robotic Telescope - robotic operation of an automated telescope

C.A.C.T. - on-line robot from St. Lawrence University

CSC Telerobot- remotely operate a 6-DOF manipulator located at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh.

Drinking Maiden Exhibition - telerobotic examination of The Drinking Maiden by Ernst Wenck

Eyebot Project - control a manipulator holding a webcam - and read about their great no-budget implementation!

iNTERFACE - (formerly known as Doppleganger) an attempt to create a telerobotic machine that is controllable through the web which will eventually be displayed in an art context

Interactive Model Railroad - remote operation of a real train set in Germany! Is it a robot? It depends on your definition...

Interfacing Reality - remotely fly a robotic blimp (currently offline)

Jason - use a web-connected mobile robot to solve an online mystery. Part of the Jason Project

Khep On The Web - a Khepera robot controlled from your web browser, with streaming video

Legal Tender - a telerobotic laboratory to investigate counterfeit currency

Max- control a tele-operated dog on via the web

Meachanical Gaze - allows multiple remote users to actively control up to six degrees of freedom (DOF) of a robot arm with an attached camera to explore a collection of physical museum exhibits

Mercury project- robotic tele-excavation of "Southwest Nevada" over the Internet (currently inactive, but the historical logs are great!)

Net-Robot- a net-controllable manipulator in Germany, which you can watch solve the Towers-Of-Hanoi problem

PumaPaint - use a Puma robot to paint with brushes, paint and easel - create real art!

Rhino - let your robotic tourguide show you the Deutsches Museum Bonn (only active for short periods)

Robotic Garden - robotic plant tending and maintenance over the Internet. If you water the robot, will it grow up to be a big robot?

RoboToy - control a 5-DOF manipulator at the University of Wollongong to pick up pieces of Australian styrofoam! In a very neat twist, you can control either the real robot, or a JAVA simulation!

Schoolnet- Robotics Centre WebCam, with web-driven remote pan and tilt pointing

UC Santa Barbara Remotely Operated Telescope - the Remote Access Astronomy Project invites you to access their Remotely Operated Telescope and submit requests

University of Ballarat Telerobot - internet operation of a robot manipulator

V-Car - remotely drive R/C cars via the web, with a very interesting interface

Xavier- an Internet-guided mobile robot currently wandering around Carnegie Mellon University
