A VIRTUAL REALITY BASED TELELABORATORY FOR THE REMOTE LEARNING OF ROBOTICS

In the present work, a virtual reality system, used in the framework of a web-based educational tool, is presented. Such tool, called VRL, can be used as a support for active learning of robotics in a web-learning environment. VRL guarantees forms of flexible learning, and couples virtual reality experiments, obtained through the integration of Matlab and Shockwave technology, and remote lab experiments, in order to allow a preliminary verification of theoretical concepts without the risks of damaging the remote experimental device.
