Abstract: The discovery and try of combining operating simulation with real time monitoring and control together for a robot was studied. An experimental robot and two virtual robots were built for work simulation and real time monitoring， respectively. Together with the contribution of robot， microcontrollers and wireless communication modules， an experimental system was constructed to carry out several experiments， and methods for locating and controlling of the experimental robot were discussed as well. The results confirm that virtual reality technology can not only act as an effective auxiliary to video monitoring methods， but also bring more controlling experience in remote operation. Meanwhile， it offers better assistant effect with the same data transferring bandwidth compared to video feedback strategies.

Key words: virtual reality(VR), manmachine interaction, teleoperation, remote control, virtual robot
