Abstract
In this work a tool for on-line robotics learning workshops is introduced, with this tool students can test from home their robotics subjects exercises on real robots situated in a remote laboratory. It is composed by a set of e-puck robots, a server application to manage user requests, a server application for video recording and transmission and a web application for user interaction with robot and video. Students can see in real time robot movements in their own computer and send commands to the robot.
