Development of a local network for robot training

Looks at a research project which aims to develop a network system to provide a cost‐effective tool for the teaching and training of robot programming. The system requires only one robot and several PCs and with the use of a language conversion system only one robot control language [VAL] is required. Describes the hardware and software designs of the system and outlines the research development. Concludes that this system provides a cheap, reliable and easy operation system for VAL programming learning.
