Abstract

Remote and virtual laboratories are gaining prominence as an effective access tool in engineering and technology education, often with unique and expensive equipment being available 24/7 from any location on the globe with Internet access. Those remote facilities are increasingly shared between educational, research and industrial institutions. This article discusses one of the specific areas of remote laboratories that involve not only a simulated user environment, but also real electro motion/electrical machines and drive setups that are accessed remotely to enable experiments on the real hardware, performed over a thousand kilometres away from the physical location of the equipment. Several remote control laboratory solutions of motion control systems are reviewed. They are contrasted with the system originally developed at the University of South Australia (UniSA), Adelaide, Australia, that offers a versatile reconfigurable remote experiment environment to conduct control experiments including the sophisticated H-infinity control used among others in the space exploration, and never before used in the classical remote laboratories.
