4. Teleoperation Through Communication Line
　　Based on the rapid advance of communication and information technologies, we have been trying to develop a useful and practical teleoperation system which can be used easily. If we can connect a robot with a conventional communication line such as a computer network or telephone line, it will be possible to teleoperate the robot for various uses, such as remote maintenance, remote assistance for elderly people, education and amusements at home, etc. However, one of the severe limitations of this kind of teleoperation system is the capacity of the communication line. In order to overcome this problem we have proposed a new task-based data exchange method. According to the task characteristics, the ratio between the control information and the visual monitoring information is changed so that the capacity of the communication line will be used effectively. The more advanced data exchange method and remote robot collaboration method are also being developed in this project
