Laboratory Mobile Double Track Robot

Double-track mobile robot for hazardous environment applications

This paper introduces a link-type tracked vehicle, which is developed for potential applications such as Ž re Ž ghting, handicapped assistance and mine detection in various hazardous environments. The vehicle consists of three parts — front frame, rear frame and body. The front frame is connected to the rear frame by a rotational passive adaptation mechanism, which is the driving mechanism of t...

The Mobile Robot Laboratory

A Remote Laboratory for Mobile Robot Applications

This paper presents the architecture and the implementation of a remote laboratory for mobile robot applications. The implementation is based on Matlab and Easy Java Simulations (EJS). The aim of the remote laboratory is that students perform – via the Internet – experiments on a group of non-holonomic mobile robots. The robot application presented in this paper is leader-follower formation con...

REAL: a virtual laboratory for mobile robot experiments

This paper presents REAL (Remotely Accessible Laboratory), a virtual laboratory accessible through the Internet. The objective of REAL is to provide remote access to a mobile robots infrastructure. REAL has been implemented as a new generation telecommunication service, not as a commonplace World Wide Web (WWW) application. As such, it employs a sophisticated access framework, a communication i...

Interface design of a virtual laboratory for mobile robot programming

This paper presents architectural considerations for a remotely operable laboratory with a mobile robot. The laboratory is used in student education within the MSc programme “Mechatronics” at FernUniversität in Hagen. It forms the practical part of the module “Mechatronics and Robotics”. Main objective of the laboratory is to learn about behaviour based programming, and simultaneously learning ...
