Internet emulation system for UDP-based teleoperation

The purpose of this paper is to achieve a quantum leap in teleoperation experiments with real devices in laboratory environments. It intends to replace current simulations of networks with time delays - which are usually represented as black boxes (Kamrani, 2005) in software applications such as Matlab or Scilab - with a simple and universal element capable of reflecting, in real time, the state of a time-delay network such as Internet. Results of performance tests carried out in a teleoperation application are given.
