Purpose: The aim of this paper is to present a prototype of web-based programming interface for the Mitsubishi Movemaster RV-M1 robot. Design/methodology/approach: The web techniques have been selected due to modularity of this solution and possibility of use the existing code fragments for elaborating new applications. The previous papers [11-14] have presented the off-line, remote programming system for the RV-M1 robot. The general idea of this system is a base for developing a web-based programming interface. Findings: The prototype of the system has been developed. Research limitations/implications: The presented system is in the early development stage and there is a lack of some functions. In the future a visualisation module will be elaborated and the trajectory translator intended to co-operate with CAD software will be included. Practical implications: The previous version of the system has been intended for educational purposes. It is planned that new version will be more flexible and it will have the possibility of being adapted for other devices, like small PLC's or other robots. Originality/value: Remote supervision of machines during a manufacturing process is an actual issue. Most of automation systems manufacturers produce supervising software for their PLC's and robots. The Movemaster RV-M1 robot is an old model and is lack of the high-tech software. On the other hand, the programming and development of applications for this robot are very easy. The aim of the presented project is to develop a flexible, remote-programming environment.
