The Remote Laboratory Management System (RLMS), REMLABNET, for the integrating and management of remote experiments for starting university level and secondary schools, is presented. Its building was initiated both from the extensive use and expertise in Internet School Experimental System (ISES), remote experiments built and the lack of a similar system for secondary schools in Europe. RLMS is built...
This work describes a tool for data analysis and time series cleaning, with a specific focus on outlier detection and accommodation. Data can be previously collected or obtained in real-time from a remote laboratory experiment using a wireless sensor network (WSN). The tool, presented as a local Matlab Graphical User Interface or as a remote application, allows the user to fill in missing data, resample...
In this paper we present a model to control the instruments and experiments in a remote laboratory using a low cost control architecture. This model is based on a LAN network and a control methodology through reusable drivers. The objective is to obtain a software control architecture independent of the hardware of the laboratory, so each institution can deploy its own solution according to the available...
Online experimentation comprises remote and virtual experimentation aided by virtual reality components, augmented reality, sensorial devices, live videos and other tools as interactive videos and serious games which promote user immersion in virtual environments recreating the real experience. Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (FCG) has recognized in online experimentation its credits with relevance...
The relative ubiquity of high powered mobile devices and increasing high speed connectivity offers new opportunities for educators. On the App stores, the freemium model has gained popularity to such an extent that the majority of games are now free to play. This type of business model depends on the ability to record, analyze and interpret analytics and metrics to finesse the user experience and...
In this paper, a Java stand-alone application for linear control systems simulation is presented. This simulator implements linear low-order process models (first order, second order and third order), open-loop architecture and closed-loop architecture with a linear PID feedback controller. Modeling and dynamical simulation are now basic tools for understanding and verifying theoretical subjects....
Online Maintenance Assistance (OMA) is a tool for supporting Remote Maintenance. It was developed by Airbus and the University of Applied Sciences Osnabrueck, Germany. Operators performing maintenance tasks in front of an aircraft can use OMA to establish a conference to a remote expert. They can provide different camera views on of a maintenance part or location. In addition, the screen output of...
Haptics are force sensitive devices able to remotely actuate real equipment or to interact with virtual reality models by returning feedback information from the reaction force to the performed action, which allows the haptic device and so the user, to feel the system response.
In this paper the interactive demonstration of remote laboratories conducted with engineering didactics for creating real conditions for teaching and learning engineering has been presented. The article is focusing on international cooperation, offering the wide range of tools and methodology for effective and interactive teaching of embedded systems and mechatronics as well as exploiting latest web...
The need for adopting virtual and remote labs in engineering education is high in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. This paper proposes the evaluation plan of a network of remote labs in the Maghrebian countries. This plan is based on the significant research that has been done until now concerning the evaluation of remote labs. More specifically the proposed evaluation strategy of the project will focus...
In this paper a new simulation environment for a virtual laboratory to educational proposes is presented. The Logisim platform was adopted as the base digital simulation tool, since it has a modular implementation in Java. All the hardware devices used in the laboratory course was designed as components accessible by the simulation tool, and integrated as a library. Moreover, this new library allows...
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...
Nowadays the world economy suffers a global innovation gap, which reveals itself in essential disproportions in innovative development of particular countries. The deep inequality is also observed in the sphere of innovations between various geographical regions. Unfortunately, Russia does not belong to the countries - leaders of the innovative development. The reasons of its underrun should be searched...
Many remote laboratory setups include a webcam for users to observe the equipment in action. However, naïve users do not get a clear picture of what might be happening inside the equipment. This paper presents one attempt made to address this issue, using an animation to provide an exploded view of the equipment and to drive this animation with data streamed in real-time from the equipment. This is...
The authors examined the issues of building and educational use of Hybrid Simulating Testbed (HST) for robotic manipulator (RM). HST is based on the hybrid RM models, including computer models and physical RM models based on the serial industrial robots. The HST is controlled remotely. The HST user has the possibility to remotely select the structure and parameters of the MR control and simulation...
Demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) can be adjusted based on room occupancy levels. In this study the feasibility of a visitor counting sensor network in occupancy detection was evaluated. A network with 15 sensor spots and real time activity visualization was designed and assembled at the Aalto Design Factory building. Direction sensitive light beam and infrared (IR) camera sensors were used. Counting...
