Abstract

This paper presents a remote laboratory for leader-follower formation control. The client-server architecture of the remote laboratory is based on Matlab and JIM at the server’s side, and a Java applet created using Easy Java Simulations at the client’s side. The implementation of the remote laboratory is described in detail and the educational value is outlined by presenting some experimental results for formation control of two mobile robots.
