Remote laboratory setup for software verification in an embedded systems and mechatronics course

Abstract

This paper proposes a setup to provide remote laboratory courses on embedded systems and mechatronics applied in engineering education. A hardware setup, which allows students to test and verify their design on a real physical setup from a remote location, is presented. Special attention is given to live feedback and measurements. The accompanying software setup is discussed and presented. The software setup addresses multiple aspects such as manipulation of the remote setup, setup reservation, live visual feedback and security.
