Remote Mechatronics Challenge

Description

In the theoretical lectures of control engineering practical laboratories are an important component to recognize physical principles based on mathematical descriptions.

Remote Laboratories allow the control of a real test bed via the Internet. The user controlls it via a graphical user interface, which also presents the real-time information from the test bed (a video stream and measurement data graph). In addition to the permanent availability, the limitation of defined parameter of the system is a great advantage over classical laboratory concepts. During the laboratories, students can complete challenges to receive score points depending of the fittness of their solutions. In a ranking on the main page, they can compare themselves with their fellow students to motivate them to reach higher score points in new trials.
