Abstract
Abstract: This paper reports the development of a cloud simulation environment for a single link flexible manipulator system, where users can perform a simulation exercise from a remote location via a graphical user interface (GUI). The cloud simulation is an arrangement where simulation runs on a server and can be accessed by the users from remote locations. Within the developed environment the user selects desired system specifications via the GUI and passes them to the hosting server for the simulation to be performed at the server. The simulation results are subsequently presented to the remote user via the GUI. This paper details the technical development process and highlights its advantages and shortcomings. A number of case studies are also provided to demonstrate the potential of this environment for educational activities.
