Contribuciones al desarrollo de laboratorios virtuales y remotos en robótica

Resumo

This Thesis covers a wide range of concepts from old Automatic to the virtual and remote laboratorios, going through robotic vehicles and manipulators. The Thesis is structured so that it can serve as an example of a set of educational practices developed around pedagogical robotics. The initial idea was building VANTER (Spanish acronym of Autonomous Vehicle Not Manned Specialized in Recognition). This robotic prototype has served as multiplatform with the objective of developing hardware and testing different systems. As consequence, several developments have been carried out among an educational virtual instrument (VI) denominated 3D Robotic Arm Simulator (3D-RAS) is included. Thus the Laboratory of e-Learning for Robots (LER) arose with the purpose of creating a virtual environment in which teachers as well as students could manage accessible real instruments from Internet.
