Description Equipment ID : 4; Year of purchase : 2005, University ID : 7. Developed systems: 1, The first system realized by our research team is in the field of augmented and remote control robot systems. The advantage of the proposed system is that it helps the researchers or students to remotely perform experiments. The telerobot laboratory consist in (a) Client (Local Area)-TCP/IP Server (Remote Area) on one hand, and at the Remote Area level (b) communication between ABB IRB controller as server and TCP/IP server which became in this case a client, on the other hand. The developed augmented reality tools can also be used to test the reliability of the systems. 2,The chess playing robot system consists in one remote area, where a server, a chess engine and a robot controller connected to the remote computer, a chess board on which the robot activates and a CCD camera for image acquisition are located. The image information are used to observe the chess board and also as a visual feedback for robot controller. As a part of the system structure it can be noticed the local area with the client and the human operator. The system was developed to work in two ways: a) As a telerobot manipulated via an Internet connection by an end user, using an augmented reality interface, to realize the human chess movement. In this case the human operator can watch the scene in real time, using the augmented reality interface - through a web camera device located above the chess board - superposed on the virtual reality's image of the chess board. When the human player will make a move, he will act on the virtual reality's image of the chess board. This information will be transferred via Internet to the remote computer, which transfers it to the robot controller through a wireless device. b) As an autonomous robot system with its own chess engine and with the possibility to move the chess pieces 3, The third equipment developed consist in a new software framework using a frame marker device conceived by the author, which can offer effectiveness contr
