Abstract：Aiming at improving flexibility of remote control of the robot，a new scheme of remote operation was proposed，an Androidbasedmobile smart terminal（a smart-phone or tablet）was utilized to control mobile robot remotely through wireless network. The remotecontrol system was described in detail，including the server，client，video transmission module，motion controlling module andcommunication protocol. This system was tested in test site. The results indicate that Android- based mobile smart terminal can
successfully receive video from mobile robot and display it fluently，it also could control the mobile robot with high flexibility.
