Remote Services with Cyber Physical Robotics

Cyber Physical Systems (CPS's) are integrating computation, networking, and physical processes. They provide many new opportunities to improve asset management. One of these, remote service developments are responding to changing and growing needs of customers to improve the return on assets of the systems. We have approached the needs for remote services in robot automation by setting up a pilot system to support setup and maintenance of sensor based robot systems by a remote calibration service. The main focus has been in user interface design, to support local field personnel as well as remotely located technology specialists. Iterative design example is described for a remote robot-sensor calibration procedure.
