Internet-Based Teleoperator System for Remote Video Monitoring

Abstract

The presented robotic system has been designed and dedicated to remote controlvideo cameras away from monitoring workspaces. The idea of the system is that the camera is installed on the flying platform of the cable driven manipulator. The manipulator is the slave part of the robotic system similar to the standard inverted Stewart platform that features six degrees of freedom. The presented manipulator has been extended with additional three degrees of freedom to increase maneuverability of the camera. The system can be employed in two basicmodes, both as an autonomous robot and as a teleoperator instrument.
