A personal robot is a kind of service robot which can be used for personal conveniences in the house. It is equipped with a wireless LAN system for internet remote control. Users can control the personal robot using a simulator located at local sites. The robot is equipped with a camera, a speaker and a microphone. The robot is controlled via the internet and the controller is executed on the web browser. Since the internet time delay is variable and unpredictable, it needs a very robust controller to control the internet-based personal robot. A novel control structure is used in the personal robot to prevent the effect of internet time delay.
