The developments of computer and network technologies have provided a virtual reality environment and ubiquitous network systems. Especially audiovisual devices play an important role in communication. For example, voice communication by telephone, audiovisual communication, streaming technology, digital television system and so on. However, we know that the human makes communication not only by audiovisual information but also by using all five-senses (touch, taste, hearing, eyesight, and smell). The realization of the five-senses communication system is one of the prospected technologies. Especially force communication is a hopeful application in the coming e-world. Several kinds of gimmicks can be considered for transmitting or exchanging the sense of touch, haptic, tactile, force and kinesthetic. In the area of the wearable computing technologies some force-like communication system is realized by using pressure, tension, bending, stress sensors and vibration or pressure actuators, which give the illusion of force communication. On the other hand, robotic researchers have discussed on bilateral tele-operation systems, which realizes remote-manipulations with the sense of reaction forces caused by collision or touching of remote objects and environments. An aim of the technology is that the communication channel between two terminals simulates as if a rigid rod or tight rope. In this article, we consider the bilateral tele-operation systems as a force communication device. It is a well-known that the computer network has inevitable time-delay and jitter in the transmission of the data. And in control engineering deterioration of the stability and performance of the closed loop systems is a well-known fact. Control researchers have proposed several kinds of approaches to overcome the problems. The rest of the chapter is composed as follows. In Section 2, a characterization of the computer network from the view point of transmission delay is discussed. In Section 3, control systems of force sensorless bilateral tele-operation system and the problems caused by transmission delay are examined with a brief historical review. Section 4 presents a procedure how to design a robust control system over the uncertain time-delay network. In section 5 a simulation result is introduced, and some discussions are presented. In section 6 experimental results over the real broadband computer network are introduced. And the results of experiments and investigation are explained in detail. Section 6 concludes the article.

This paper considers synchronization of multiple plants over networks. The effect of time-varying transmission delay is compensated by a switching observer which uses the time-stamp information. To calculate the instantaneous value of transmission delay length via the time-stamp, the clocks of sending and receiving computers must be synchronized. It is shown that the correction of the difference of the quartz frequencies of the computers and the clock adjustment via NTP (Network Time Protocol) can provide the time synchronization within a required accuracy for moderate sampling periods. Proposed method is demonstrated by an experiment of synchronization of DC-motors over a real network.
