Remote Control of a Lego Mobile Robot through the Web

Abstract

This paper presents the Automatic Control Telelab (ACT), a remote laboratory for education in control systems and robotics developed at University of Siena. Special emphasis is devoted to a mobile robot built with Lego Mindstorms bricks which can be remotely driven. Students can control the Lego mobile robot, and all the other processes, using an Internet browser. Moreover users can design new controllers by means of the Matlab/Simulink environment and use them on the actual processes. The ACT home page is http://act.dii.unisi.it.
