A computer 3D animated graphical interface for control and teleoperation of a robot system

A computer three dimensional (3D) graphical interface for control and teleoperation of robot systems is described in this paper. The modeling and algorithms of kinematics, dynamics and control of the simulation system are presented. It has such functions as: displaying the three dimensional graphics of the robots; displaying the motion of the robots and simulation of kinematics of the robots; simulation of dynamics of the robots; and simulation of the robot control and teleoperation. At the end, we discuss several applications of this 3D graphical interface for robot systems.
