A virtual laboratory for teaching robotics

Abstract

Technical teaching often requires the use of expensive laboratory materials which are frequently beyond the reach of many students. Students are also required to go to laboratories, which offer the appropriate facilities, according to a strict timetable. For these reasons, the need for alternative methods arises for teaching such as virtual laboratories via the Internet. In this article we present a virtual laboratory that is being applied to robotics teaching which allows the simulation and tele-operation of a robotic arm.
