Simulating a Bilateral Teleoperation System Using Matlab and SIMULINK

Abstract

Teleoperation provides a human-machine interface that allows an operator to control machines at a large distance. It has recently been the subject of a significant amount of research in the robotics community. Teleoperation can also provide an instructor with an excellent motivating example for a control systems course where it can serve as a platform for introducing several key controls issues such as noise compensation and time delay. Computer packages such as MatLab and SIMULINK are readily available in most engineering schools for simulating teleoperation systems. In this article, SIMULINK is used to present a case study of a simple teleoperation system.
