Remote Programming of Multirobot Systems within the UPC-UJI Telelaboratories: System Architecture and Agent-Based Multirobot Control
One of the areas that needs further improvement
within E-Learning environments via Internet (A big effort is
required in this area if progress is to be made) is allowing students
to access and practice real experiments in a real laboratory,
instead of using simulations [1]. Real laboratories allow students
to acquire methods, skills and experience related to real
equipment, in a manner that is very close to the way they are
being used in industry. The purpose of the project is the study,
development and implementation of an E-Learning environment
to allow undergraduate students to practice subjects related to
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. The system, which is now at a
preliminary stage, will allow the remote experimentation with real
robotic devices (i.e. robots, cameras, etc.). It will enable the
student to learn in a collaborative manner (remote participation
with other students) where it will be possible to combine the onsite
activities (performed âin-situâ within the real lab during the
normal practical sessions), with the âon-lineâ one (performed
remotely from home via the Internet). Moreover, the remote
experiments within the E-Laboratory to control the real robots
can be performed by both, students and even scientist. This
project is under development and it is carried out jointly by two
Universities (UPC and UJI). In this article we present the system
architecture and the way students and researchers have been able
to perform a Remote Programming of Multirobot Systems via web
