“…In this paper, section II discusses existing virtual laboratories, [1] [2]. Some experiments were performed on these platforms, the observations from these are stated in section IV and V. The insights from the experiments are to be used to develop the robotics virtual lab as explained in the later section.…”

Abstract-An Online Lab is a multi-university shared laboratory environment, where students can exercise their knowledge as they would do in a physical lab. The idea is to have maximum resource utilization and collaboration between universities by sharing of ideas. This kind of remote laboratory negates the economic issues to set up a laboratory and allows every student to have an experience of real laboratory. As part of Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) Robotics Lab project a study on state of art of remote labs was conducted. This paper discusses some key issues in the design and operation of such remote labs. The lab should be remotely usable by a large student body, with varied levels of sophistication, all the way from elementary learners, to PhD students doing research. In addition, the high design load implies that the architecture should be highly parallel, and structurally reliable.

This article describes an attempt to create open source LabVIEW software, equivalent to data collection and control software. The proposed solution uses GNU Radio, OpenCV, Scilab, Xcos, and Comedi in Linux. GNU Radio provides a user-friendly graphical interface. Also, GNU Radio is a software-defined radio that conducts experiments in practice using software rather than the usual hardware implementation. Blocks for data propagation, code deletion with and without code tracking are created using the zero correlation zone code (ZCZ, a combination of ternary codes equal to 1, 0, and –1, which is specified in the program). Unlike MATLAB Simulink, GNU Radio is open source, i. e. free, and the concepts can be easily accessed by ordinary people without much programming experience using pre-written blocks. Calculations can be performed using OpenCV or Scilab and Xcos. Xcos is an application that is part of the Scilab mathematical modeling system, and it provides developers with the ability to design systems in the field of mechanics, hydraulics and electronics, as well as queuing systems. Xcos is a graphical interactive environment based on block modeling. The application is designed to solve problems of dynamic and situational modeling of systems, processes, devices, as well as testing and analyzing these systems. In this case, the modeled object (a system, device or process) is represented graphically by its functional parametric block diagram, which includes blocks of system elements and connections between them. The device drivers listed in Comedi are used for real-time data access. We also present an improved PyGTK-based graphical user interface for GNU Radio.
