Global telerobotics: interfacing on the World Wide Web

This thesis describes the design and implementation of the TeleRobo Interface, a usable human-robot interface for a generic, telerobotic task level system. The TeleRobo Interface provides users with the ability to manipulate the ADEPT robot arm and to acquire ongoing visual feedback relating to the robot's operation. The TeleRobo Interface, implemented as an electronic storyboard control interface on the World Wide Web, has been designed to be as generic as possible so that additional remote devices can be connected to the system with little or no modification to the interface.
