In-Depth Information
A trouble spot of the whole system is not hardware but actually software.
The key issue in remote control of industrial robots is security of transferred
data. It could be very dangerous in case of hacking the safeguards. It is highly
important to backup all necessary and systems files, encrypt and lock up some
of the vulnerable files.
One of the work limitations is connected with the Ethernet solution and with
the fact that it is not a real-time system. It means that there are some lags in
the communication process. Time delay in transmitting information in this case
is so insignificant that it provides sucient security. It is necessary to develop
the control system and to improve the time response. Remote robot control will
expand its use of robots and offer them new opportunities and functionalities.
The operator will be able to control the robot from anywhere.
The future works may be to extend the action to cooperate with the capture
technology, which would not only control the robot but also to see the robot.
Future research will also concern new industrial and medical applications of
the developed remote control system and will develop authors' software for this
purpose. Apart from robot implementations the shown system of communication
will be tested in applications connected with road safety [7, 10]. A very important
thing is to provide proper safety and reliability level in such a type systems. In
literature there are also some positions concerning qualitative and quantitative
methods of evaluation the reliability structure for complex technical systems e.g.
[1, 2, 6].
When it comes to an industrial robot the proposed system is not perfect, but
suce to say that the remote control in this case is not only possible but also
does not require a large financial outlay. The proposed solution could possibly
contribute to further progress in the fields of practical control and robotics.
