Abstract-This article describes the development of a remote lab environment used to test and training sessions for robotics tasks. This environment is made up of the components and devices based on two robotic arms, a network link, Arduino card and Arduino shield for Ethernet, as well as an IP camera. The remote laboratory is implemented to perform remote control of the robotic arms with visual feedback by camera, of the robots actions, where, with a group of test users, it was possible to obtain performance ranges in tasks of telecontrol of up to 92%.Keywords-remote environment, remote lab, robotic arm, robotics training IntroductionWith the increasing boom of robotics in all human activities, being familiar with the control of a robotic agent is not unusual. Robotic toys today are very common, it is possible to find from assistive robots to support feeding to people with limitations [1] to assistant robots of physical activity for adolescents [2], which are part of the great variety of developments found in the state of the art. The presentations of the robotic agents are very varied, until reaching critical support points, as intermediaries in teleoperations [3]. This type of applications allows to see the incidence of the robots in the activities of the man and his improvement of the quality of life.Due to this, to develop platforms of training in the control of robots, versatile for any age range, becomes important for its assertive use and development. Nowadays, with the possibility of remote control of different systems, such as air conditioning [4], control of robots [5] and similar, coupled with the advantages of virtual laboratories [6], remote laboratories for telecontrol robots offer solutions for needs such as training in various areas [7], for example in the case of teleoperation.Remote laboratory environments already carry several developments reported in the state of the art [8] [9], and have shown several advantages, such as low cost implementation [10][11] and skill development in robot control and programming algorithms [12] [13]. In this article, it is presented a remote laboratory environment for telecontrol of two robotic arm type agents, capable of interacting with each other, using visual feedback from the user through an IP camera, looking for a simple environment of easy assimilation, for learning and training in robot telecontrol.
