Remote laboratories has become a mature technology in many aspects, and is used extensively at universities around the world. This paper describes remote laboratories in general, and shows an example of how remote laboratories can be utilised as an integral part of engineering education. Specifically, the paper demonstrates a low-cost, simple, yet advanced remote laboratorysetup for use in an analogue electronics module. These remote laboratories can easily be implemented into an engineering curriculum, without an overwhelming effort from the staff, and for the benefit for the students, in terms of pedagogy.

This paper discuss the significance of the remote laboratory as an example of an effective E-learning tool intended for distance education of undergraduate, graduate and PhD students in the field of robotics and automation. Also it offers employees working in Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) a tool for life-long learning. As a basis for a roundtable discussion, a complete system offering remote laboratory for robotics and automation, based on robotic vision is suggested. The roundtable aims to discuss both the hardware configuration as well as the pedagogical aspects related to the use of this remote laboratory.

This paper demonstrate how to construct an advanced yet low cost remote lab for experiments for an module in analogue electronics at an electrical engineering course at second year bachelor level. The remote lab is designed for running experiments on a normal BJT common emitter amplifier circuit, while maintaining the possibility for the students to use a wide range of different setups. The main reasons for using remote lab are the opportunity to give the students the chance to focus on the theory for the laboratory and not setup problems, in addition the availability of the exercise is 24/7 and not dependent on the opening hours of the physical laboratory
