An Internet based remote maintenance system with the use of virtual reality

摘要

It is important to look for alternative forms of physical movement of people and equipment, to assure diagnosis and maintenance tasks. To reach this aim a lot of researches are being done in different fields of maintenance and computer science. An evident and classical solution is the use of the tele-operation and tele-robotics trough Internet. If the tele-operation helped to solve a lot of real and technical problems, it still remains insufficient to assure an appropriate remote diagnosis and maintenance. The use of virtual reality techniques with the tele-operation can be the solution for an effective remote maintenance and diagnosis. In this paper we show the inefficiency occurred with the only use of tele-operation in the remote maintenance, we introduce our system, explain its structure, implementation and its advantages.
