Remote Access Laboratories (RALs) use computer-based platforms to deliver educational goals for engineering and scientific laboratories. To pursue more effective user interfaces, RAL can now be integrated with Augmented and Virtual Reality features to enhance users' interactions and control features. A Natural User Interface (NUI) is one way to implement advanced input methods to capture data from...
Teaching in laboratories plays an integral role in education. This includes both proximal as well as remote laboratories. The MOOC for Enhancing Laboratory Learning Outcomes (MELLO) is designed to assist educators at all levels, from school to university, to improve the quality of laboratory experiences in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. Experienced educators seeking...
Smart devices networks make the backbone of many Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The performance of these systems can be depended on many factors including response time or latency between them and the ability to interconnect between devices. In this paper, a Peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay network is discussed that can be used for real-time end-to-end remote instrumentation for IoT applications...
Augmented Reality (AR) is the process of overlaying meaningful information in a video stream for creating an enriched visual experience for users. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Remote Access Laboratories (RAL) are systems where individual users or makers can build their experimental setups, program the rig and then share it with other users. This enables them to get design experience along with gaining knowledge...
Remote access laboratories (RAL) allow users to control an experiment or rig remotely via the Internet. This usually involves a client application in a web browser and a server that controls hardware. Control is usually implemented through a graphical user interface and mouse/keyboard interaction. This project investigates gesture recognition as an alternative control paradigm for remotely accessible...
Remote Access Laboratories are online platform for performing experiments from remote locations which are usually these systems focus on specific experiments and follow a centralised client-server paradigm. This demo will present organisation of experiments and activities in RALfie — Remote Access Laboratories for Fun, Innovation and Education which is a peer-to-peer remote access laboratory architecture...
Remote Access Laboratories (RAL) provide mechanisms to operate an experimental setup through the internet for educational purposes. These setups contain a control mechanism that reads inputs from the users, process them and return output data. Based on interactivity between user and experiment, the experiments are classified as interactive or batched. This paper defines the interactivity as a continuum...
Remote Access Laboratories (RAL) are online environments that allows the users to interact with instruments through the Internet. RALs are governed by a Remote Laboratory management system (RLMS) that usually provides the specific control technology and control policies with regards to an experiment and the corresponding hardware. Normally, in a centralized RAL these control strategies and policies...
A network topology based on Nano Data Centers (NDC) for an interactive collaborative system is discussed in this paper. The system operates over several nodes that differ in endpoint security and network access. Some nodes are prevented from initiating connections directly and require intermediate nodes to accept requests from third parties. The nodes also constitute a supporting content distribution...
Remote Laboratories are network controlled systems operated by human users through the internet for educational purposes. A distributed version of the remote laboratory requires the experimental rigs to be designed by individuals thus making it difficult to obtain formal models of the experimental rigs. A rig consists of a micro-controller unit with multiple ports to connect sensors and actuators...
The RALfie Project began in 2013 with the goal of engaging children and youth with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math learning in formal and informal settings using Remote Access Labs (RAL). A design based research approach is being used to develop and test a peer-to-peer system that incorporates gamification of the system to engage learners in collaboration and communication. The key game...
Remote Access laboratories are online platform for performing experiments from remote locations. Usually these systems follow a centralised client-server paradigm. This demo will present RALfie — Remote Access Laboratories for Fun, Innovation and Education that is a peer-to-peer remote access laboratory architecture where participants are both users of experiments as well as makers. The system is...
Remote Access Laboratories (RAL) provide access to experimental setups from remote locations. These experimental setups are composed of controller units programmed to gather data and interact with user inputs. A distributed version of RAL can be maker oriented i.e. the experiment rigs are designed by individuals and shared among each other. This paper presents the programming aspects and activity...
The reliability of a system reflects the state of different sub-systems and the interaction between them. Broadly, it is a measure of the probability of the system being usable and available for users at any given point in time. For a remote access laboratory this condition is satisfied when users are able to successfully locate and run an experiment to get the desired results. This paper focuses...
Remote Access Laboratories (RAL) are online environments that allow users to access instruments through the Internet. Such environments enable users to control equipment and collect data without being present in the laboratory. This also means that users work in a disjoint manner and cannot coordinate equipment usage directly with each other, as they would do in regular on-site laboratories. Remote...
Remote Access Laboratories (RAL) provide access to state-of-the-art science experiments and are capable of giving its users increased learning opportunities. These environments, if used in schools, can be highly effective in increasing students' interest and skill in science knowledge and their communication and design skills. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is an interdisciplinary...
Remote access laboratories are being used by universities to provide access to experiments through web based online environments. Usually, such experiments setups are an extension of the real hardware used in on-site laboratories. For a maker oriented RAL, users are encouraged to build their own experiment setups based on their understanding of the concepts and share them with their peers. Such a...
Remote Access Laboratories are been used for practical learning activities in engineering education in the universities worldwide. Usually these systems follow a centralised client-server paradigm. This work proposes a peer-to-peer remote access laboratory architecture where participants are both users of experiments as well as makers. The feasibility of a peer-to-peer remote laboratories system is...
Remote access laboratories (RALs) are online environments for operating instruments and collecting measurement data over the Internet. Such systems are often deployed by universities to support undergraduate students and generally follow the client–server paradigm. This paper discusses a RAL system that enables peer-to-peer (P2P) experimental design and sharing. For this, a modular design is required,...
Real-time distributed systems often utilize centralized nodes to manage and coordinate the exchange of information; in particular, for users to are unable to communicate directly because of their location behind firewalls or proxy servers. Identifying these nodes is crucial for successful operation of the entire distributed system. The geo-locational placement of these relay node can be determined...
