Virtual laboratory for a remotely operating robot arm

New techniques, like virtual laboratories and the ones remotely operated, improve teaching and learning in the academic society. These allow students to gain experience with real tools, in an intuitive way at a low cost. The paper presents an alternative way of e-learning in robotics that allows the students to simulate and remotely operate the mechanical RV-2AJ robot arm. The main characteristics of the application are a realistic graphics and a wide variety of options which allow the user to easily learn the advanced concepts of control of the robot.
