Abstract
This paper reports the up-to-date progress of an internet based crossover robot remote control competition which is an international cooperation project of VEC of Japan, VESTC of China, KMITL of Thailand, and TKV of Taiwan. We propose a new competition style called "cargo relay transportation by a locally controlled humanoid robot and a remotely controlled robotic vehicle" in which a locally controlled humanoid robot picks up an object from source, walks to a midway area and hands over the object to a robotic vehicle before it moves to destination and put the object into a box under the remote control via the internet. The robots are developed by students via the internet-based collaboration. The demonstration of the proposed competition between UEC and partner universities proves the project has unique benefits to students in term of improving students' practical ability, creative thinking, good teamwork spirit and communication skills in English, etc. ©2009 IEEE.
