The　variable　time　delay　and　the　packet　loss　degrade　the　performance　of　Internet　based　teleoperation　system　severely,　even　make　the　system　unstable.　Most　of　the　previous　work　on　Internet-based　teleoperations　rest　on　many　assumptions,　for　example,　time　delay　is　constant　or　has　upper　bound,　control　is　not　in　real-time.　This　paper　presents　a　new　predictive　control　strategy　for　the　Internet　based　teleoperation　system.　The　strategy　is　quite　different　from　traditional　methods.　Instead　of　using　time　as　motion　reference　for　the　control　and　sensor　signals,　the　proposed　method,　called　event　based　method,　choose　another　motion　reference　which　can　efficiently　carry　the　sensory　information　of　the　teleoperator.　To　improve　the　tracking　control　performance,　a　discrete-time　device　called　Path　Governor　(PG)　generates　on　line　a　suitable　time-parameterization　of　the　predictive　path　to　be　tracked　by　solving　a　look-ahead　optimization　problem.　And　then　a　Global　Predictive　Control　(GPC)　controller　is　designed　at　the　slave　site　to　generate　the　redundant　control　information　to　diminish　the　influence　of　the　packet　loss　and　the　large　time　delay　in　the　internet.　In　this　paper,　analysis　and　design　of　event　based　method　for　internet-based　teleoperation　is　described.　Stability　of　teleoperation　system　is　proven.　And　stability　conditions　are　also　given.　Simulations　and　results　demonstrate　the　effectiveness　of　the　strategy.　©　2008　IEEE.
