The Remote Access Laboratory for Robotics is designed on the basis of the Hybrid Simulating Testbed (HST) for the International Space Station manipulators. The HST was designed at Bauman University and has successfully operated there for the past few years. The HST serves as a backbone for building simulators to test the principles and algorithms of robotic system remote control, and is also used for training the personnel to support robotic operations in space. At present the HST includes the latest industrial robot of the Kawasaki Company. At the first stage, the interactive training subsystem provides the try-out of the virtual robot control modes via the Internet. The next step of training in the interactive mode is the remote control of a real robot.
