Abstract
The combination of modern information processing and telecommunication methods offers interesting application potential in the teleservicing of remote sites. This includes operations and maintenance of plants as well as monitoring the state of construction areas from remote centers. This paper presents as concrete example the teleoperations of remote mobile robots in an outdoor environment. Details of the technical remote control realisation on basis of the robot's camera and range sensor data, transferred via inexpensive Internet links are discussed. The application potential of these methods to transfer remote sensor data and to perform control reactions for servicing tasks is outlined.
