This project seeks to demonstrate the use of remote experimentation and 3D virtual environments applied to the teaching-learning in the areas of exact sciences-physics. In proposing the combination of remote experimentation and 3D virtual worlds in teaching-learning process, we intend to achieve greater geographic coverage, contributing to the construction of new methodologies of teaching support,...
A good part of the local research objectives, in the teleengineering field, concerns the remote monitoring of manufacturing machines. Of all the developed remote monitoring solutions, this paper is written in regard to the one that has a completely self-developed hardware and software monitoring solution The new, specialized, version of the own data acquisition PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and the...
This paper presents the conceptual design of a remote experimentation laboratory -a Weblab - for a thermal process plant, based on a systematic model for its planning and development. The adopted approach comprises three layers (physical system, hardware and software), being prescribed the following steps: definition of requirements; system technical specification; conceptual synthesis; analysis,...
This paper describes the implementation of an iLab Server using TAG4M devices. The iLab project (started by MIT) consists of a collection of online laboratories that allow carrying out remote engineering tasks. Our idea was to create such a server based on the TAG4M device - a Wi-Fi measurement device. This iLab implementation will be deployed on the existing iLab infrastructure hosted at the CVTC...
This paper describes the study of creating clientless online interfaces for laboratories served through the iLab publishing system. Given the increased usage of the iLab Shared Architecture, for example the launch of the new iLab Europe website ( http://ilab-europe.net/ ) it seems like a good opportunity to study the potential of the iLab software. At present, iLab interfaces are being built using...
In this paper, a learning environment for mechatronics training is proposed, which combines immersive 3D worlds and real lab equipment. A key feature of the system is the tight coupling between virtual and real mechatronics by implementing a system, which allows interfacing an immersive 3D World with physical sensors and actuators. A communication link between a microcontroller and a virtual mechatronics...
Remote labs have become popular learning aids due to their versatility and considerable ease of utilisation as compared to their physical counterparts. At Makerere University, the remote labs are based on the standard Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) iLabs Shared Architecture (ISA) - a scalable and generic platform. Presented in this paper is such a lab, addressing the key practical aspects...
Remote laboratories have been the subject of both technical development and pedagogic analysis. Much of the associated literature uses arguments regarding the relative value of these laboratories to justify the work in this area. Whilst many of these arguments are focused on pedagogic opportunity or logistical flexibility, they often also argue for the financial benefits that accrue from the ability...
e-lab is a remote laboratory infrastructure, powered by a specific software framework, that allows to perform experiments and retrieve data from a remote apparatus. The deployment of new experiments on this platform is a complex and demanding process and an integrated overview for it is missing. An overview of e-lab's specifications is presented taking into account software development requirements...
Within this paper, we will describe a grid concept to realize a universal remote lab infrastructure as well as different operation modes based on this concept. This new infrastructure consists of three parts: an internal serial remote lab bus, a bus protection unit to interface the remote lab bus and to protect it from misuse and damage as well as a protection unit, which protects the physical systems...
