Abstract
Remote laboratories have been gaining popularity since their first appearance two
decades ago as an alternative to hands on laboratories. They present numerous advantages
for universities such as lower costs and flexibility, meanwhile, maintaining the benefits of
dealing with real systems that virtual laboratories do not present.
In this bachelor thesis, an interface to interact in remote with a DC motor, that can be
used as a laboratory session was developed.
A full stack application using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Python languages was
implemented. The front end of the application is a web page with real time graphs and a
video feed with low latency. The back end includes a web server that attends the requests
from the user, via web sockets, and performs the control loop for the motor, as well as
managing the camera.
The hardware of the platform was selected after a detailed research, advantages and
disadvantages of potential elements alternatives will be explained. The platform also
incorporates designed and printed 3D pieces.
The system was successfully identified using Python and MATLABs code and its
response in velocity and position is simulated with Simulink Tool.
