Abstract: This paper analyzes the Internet-based force feedback technology and its feasibility. A survey on the development of this technology in both computer multimedia field and robotics field is presented, which illuminates the qualitative consistency of the force feedback research in the two fields. The technologies in both fields can be merged to develop a design method with high performance and perfect telepresence. So an event-based architecture is designed to solve the problems in Internet-based force feedback system, such as system stability, reliability and transparency.
