Abstract

Remote Laboratory Experimentation is a technique used in modern engineering laboratories to help academic researchers and students perform laboratory experiments remotely through the internet. Remote control of experiments is gaining more importance in training and education. However, remote real-time training on instruments programming still have some unresolved problems such as error management. In this paper, a platform for training students on remote robotic experiment control through tele-programming is presented. Programming sessions can be done by the trainee at many levels of control with built-in error management in order to avoid system freezing or malfunction. We also present a real experiment: programming navigation control of a mobile robot in the presence of obstacles using fuzzy control.
