Distance learning in robotics and automation by remote control of Legomobile robots

摘要

This paper presents the Automatic Control Telelab (ACT), a remote laboratory for education in robotics and automation developed in Siena. A special attention is devoted to the new ACT process, a Lego mobile robot, which has been recently added to the telelab. Remote users can control the Lego mobile robot, and all the other processes, using an Internet browser. Moreover users can design new controllers by means of the Matlab/Simulink environment.
