A remote lab for experiments with a team of mobile robots

(in lingua inglese)

The proposed multi-robot setup, embedded in the ACT remote laboratory, is a versatile resource which has proven to be useful to both students and researchers. The proposed framework can be a powerful aid when teaching robotics courses. As a matter of fact, it allows students to perform experiments with real robots very easily. Control laws can be coded directly in the Matlab programming language, no specific low-level software/hardware knowledge is required. At the same time, researchers can immediately test new multi-agent control strategies and evaluate their effectiveness in a real-world scenario, thus bridging the gap between simulation and experimental validation.
