Embedded Processor for Remote Laboratory DevelopmentAbstract: This paper describes the design, development and implementation of a remotelaboratory facility utilizing an embedded processor system to reduce the development cost aswell as minimize the implementation time and maintenance overhead. Two experimentalprocesses are reported within this paper. One is the remote programming of a Raspberry Pito control and monitor a number of sensors and actuators, and the other is to control acoupled tank system to control the fluid levels in the tanks. Both experimental processes aresupported by a user friendly graphical user interface (GUI) as well as real-time video feed.Students can develop their own controller designs and upload them

From this procedure, design procedures for unified notation lead,proportional-integral (PI), proportional-integral–derivative (PID), and PI-lead compensator weredeveloped. With this proposed approach, students can concentrate on the larger control systemdesign issues, such as compensator selection and closed-loop performance, rather than theintricacies of a particular design procedure.Once students learn the unified design process discussed above, it is important that they get anopportunity to apply it to design and laboratory projects. Most real life examples require designiterations. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) developed in this paper not only makes thisfeasible, but also makes this an excellent

No active appendages of any sort were allowed, although the linksthemselves could be complex.To ensure that the students focused their designs toward effective locomotion, the worm robotsare required to pull behind them a ‘chariot,’ which contains the battery and processor. Therobots were thus required to generate good traction and ground force, as opposed to simplygenerating forward motion. The exercise took place over one week, during which there werefour hours of laboratory time.Our prior experience suggested that the motivation of the students would increase significantlywere the design cast as a competition.
