Abstract

This paper describes the development of a remote laboratory at the University of Kragujevac, with examples on testing robot SLAM algorithms. The laboratory is built with the scope of engineering education, but it can be also used by scientist and developers for quick testing of SLAM, maze solving or similar algorithms on real robots. The main goal is to build a remote lab whose price is as low as possible, while still having the necessary functionality, allowing users to access it at any time, and to be sustainable and maintainable for a long period of time.
