Abstract

This thesis presents a robot control framework to aid in research using a robotic arm. The scope of this current study is to develop a framework to allow controlling the robotic arm from either a remote network or locally in the lab. A previous method of remote control was present using a Java applet that is no longer supported. The new framework allows communication through REST calls to a server controlling the robot and also tests direct commands to the robot controller to evaluate the overhead of all communication methods.
