Research in mobile robotics often requires heavy investments in time and money.
Mobile robots are still quite expensive and complex.
Moreover, experimental set-ups need important preparations. Despite the fact that the number of researchers using real robots is growing, a good robot is still an important investment that many research groups cannot afford. For those groups that can afford a such equipment, the comparison of the results with other researchers is quite impossible due to the impact of the environment and the type of robot on the results. The goal of our work is to make complex mobile robots and environments available from a computer network, like Internet or ATM, for instance. This remote access could help in doing less expensive experiments and comparative benchmarks on a unique set-up.
