The aim of this paper is to show that the web remote control of mechanical system is nowadays not only possible but also e±cient due to the improvements, in terms of reliability and bandwidth, of the networks. Nevertheless, as the internet network do not guaranty any quality of services, the possible perturbations (variable delays, failure...) have to be taken into account while developing such systems. We also present some experimental results indicating a relative stability of internet connections in terms of round trip time.
