“…These strategies were applied to the control of an antilock braking system. Introduced in [3] was a web-based control laboratory course teaching the control of fluid levels in a nonlinear system consisting of three cylindrical tanks. This virtual laboratory was built upon an open-source tool, Easy Java Simulations, which helps non-programmers to create interactive simulations in Java for teaching purposes.…”

Abstract-this paper is a result of the implementation of the recommendations on enhancing hands-on experience of control engineering education using single chip, small scale computers such as microcontrollers. A set of microcontroller-based feedback control experiments was developed for the Electrical Engineering curriculum at the University of North Florida. These experiments provided hands-on techniques that students can utilize in the development of complete solutions for a number of servo control problems. Significant effort was devoted to software development of feedback controllers and the associated signal conditioning circuits interfacing between the microcontroller and the physical plant. These experiments have stimulated the interest of our students in control engineering.Index Terms-feedback control laboratory, microcontroller applications, servo control, position control.

“…Since then, remote control labs have been an important topic of research. In this context, it is worth mentioning the work [8][9] at Siena University [10][11][12], the Stevens Institute of Technology and [13][14][15] the Spanish Open University. As a result of these efforts, a wide variety of remote lab systems have been developed by educational institutions around the word.…”

Limitations of Remote Laboratories in Control Engineering Education

Abstract-Remote laboratories have made significant progress during last few years. Their integration in engineering education helps solve many logistical difficulties inherent in conventional labs. In control engineering education, shifting from hands-on experience to remote experimentation completely modifies the learning environment. Also, factors that can compromise the effectiveness of learning outcomes need to be carefully considered. This short paper discusses a number of pedagogical limitations intrinsic to remote experimentation in control engineering education.

“…Esta herramienta ha sido ampliamente utilizada en el diseño de laboratorios remotos de control como por ejemplo en (Dormido et al, 2008) o (Candelas et al, 2006), así como en laboratorios virtuales (Diaz et al, 2000;Christian and Esquembre, 2007). Tomando como base esta herramienta se han integrado diferentes laboratorios remotos utilizando varias opciones para el control a bajo nivel del prototipo deseado.…”
