“…Such application was explored by Angulo I. [9] who successfully replicates actual robotics experiment remotely. Based on these literatures, to the best of author knowledge, similar replication in experimenting a temperature process that simulates industrial lab equipment has yet to be developed.…”

To date, research efforts have demonstrated the stimulated need for the Internet of Things (IoT) based monitoring device in their laboratory. The benefits of remote laboratories in overcoming time constraints and the disadvantages of usability of conventional laboratories are well known. In addition to the current control engineering laboratories, a remote lab that incorporates an industry-relevant method has been established to assist in the understanding of data acquisition with cost-effective platform integration. However, one of the greatest challenges is the creation of a low-cost and user-friendly remote laboratory experiment that is ideal for interacting with the actual laboratory via a mobile device. The main objective of this work is therefore to build a remote laboratory system based on the IoT using the LabVIEW-Arduino interface with the example of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) tuning scheme for the LD-Didactic temperature plant. The practical work would include the implementation of the low-cost Arduino module connecting the actual plant to mobile devices. In addition, interfaces have been built using the Blynk application to allow communication between the end user and the laboratory equipment. In line with the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0), the proposed study structure called for the digitization of the current laboratory experiment method.

“…Los laboratorios remotos para robótica educativa responden a las mismas necesidades que los desarrollados en otrasáreas, tal y como muestran los ejemplos de laboratorios remotos que hay en la literatura para robots móviles [11,16,18,19] y manipuladores [23,27,24,31,32]. Entre las características de estosúltimos, resumidas en la Tabla 1 según la fecha de creación del laboratorio, destaca el uso de herramientas comunes para el desarrollo de la interfaz de la experiencia y para implementar el controlador de cada robot.…”

Este artículo presenta una metodología para dar acceso remoto, a través de una aplicación web, al robot educativo Dobot Magician. El procedimiento consiste en 1) ampliar la funcionalidad de ReNo-Labs, el servidor utilizado en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) para poner en marcha sus laboratorios de Control de Sistemas, y en 2) implementar un controlador para el robot en Python. Además, se despliega todo el software del laboratorio en una Raspberry PI y se utiliza EJsS, reforzado mediante un “Plugin”, para gestionar de forma centralizada la puesta en marcha del laboratorio. Finalmente, también se presenta un ejemplo de aplicación práctica del laboratorio remoto.

DSCBlocks is an open-source platform in hardware and software developed in JavaFX, which is focused on learning embedded systems through Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs). These devices are employed in industrial and educational sectors due to their robustness, number of peripherals, processing speed, scalability and versatility. The platform uses graphical blocks designed in Google’s tool Blockly that can be used to build different Algorithm Visualizations (AVs). Afterwards, the algorithms are converted in real-time to C language, according to the specifications of the compiler for the DSCs (XC16) and they can be downloaded in one of the two models of development board for the dsPIC 33FJ128GP804 and dsPIC 33FJ128MC802. The main aim of the platform is to provide a flexible environment, drawing on the educational advantages of the AVs with different aspects concerning the embedded systems, such as declaration of variables and functions, configuration of ports and peripherals, handling of Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), interrupts, among others, that are employed in several fields such as robotics, control, instrumentation, etc. In addition, some experiments that were designed in the platform are presented in the manuscript. The educational methodology and the assessment provided by the students (n = 30) suggest that the platform is suitable and reliable to learn concepts relating to embedded systems.
