Survey of Remotely Controlled Laboratories for Research and Education

This paper presents the recent advances in development and utilization of remote laboratories, which can be controlled without physical access to the equipment. Currently observed rapid in-crease of number of such systems is mostly owed to high-speed Internet expansion, as well as the continuous tendency to ensure the open access to modern knowledge. In this paper, various arranges of equipment in such testing rooms are ad-dressed in areas such as electrical engineering, electronics, mechanical engineering. A comprehensive survey of currently most popular remote laboratories worldwide is provided. The paper is concluded by the dis-cussion that presents the authors view point on how remote laboratories may evolve in the future.
