Abstract :
The Virtual Lab is an experimental setup for students in control systems engineering, which is accessible via Internet. The experimental system is an omnidirectional vehicle; several different tasks can be carried out with this vehicle ranging from kinematics and dynamics analysis to controller design and system identification. Teleoperation control options for these experiments have been chosen in addition to conventional practice because of the following two major reasons: to share this experimental setup with other universities, and to simplify experiments for home-learners and professionals in a distance teaching environment
