Title
Web Based Teleoperation of a Humanoid Robot.
Abstract
The Cloud-based Advanced Robotics Laboratory (CARL) integrates a whole body controller and web-based teleoperation to enable any device with a web browser to access and control a humanoid robot. By integrating humanoid robots with the cloud, they are accessible from any Internet-connected device. Increased accessibility is important because few people have access to state-of-the-art humanoid robots limiting their rate of development. CARLu0027s implementation is based on modern software libraries, frameworks, and middleware including Node.js, Socket.IO, ZMQ, ROS, Robot Web Tools, and ControlIt! Feasibility is demonstrated by having inexperienced human operators use a smartphoneu0027s web-browser to control Dreamer, a torque-controlled humanoid robot based on series elastic actuators, and make it perform a dual-arm manipulation task. The implementation serves as a proof-of-concept and foundation upon which many advanced humanoid robot technologies can be researched and developed.
