This invention provides a robot remote control system which can remotely control a robot apparatus if it is placed anywhere in Japan. It also presents a robot image remote control processing system that comprises the robot remote control system and an image remote processing system that remotely transmits images.
The robot apparatus contains a computer for generating control data and a mobile transmission device for transmitting control data to a base station connected to a public communications network. The robot apparatus contains a second mobile transmission device for receiving the control data transmitted from the base station, and a second computer for controlling the robot mechanism by processing the control data. It is an advantage of this system that allows control of a robot from long distance remote locations.
