In this paper, a method to combine visual and force information using the
information obtained from the movement flow-based visual servoing system is proposed. This
method allows not only to achieve a given desired position but also to specify the…

This paper presents an interactive computer simulator that can be used in the
field of practical training in Robotics. The tool can provide basic training for workers as
well as increase their knowledge about robotic concepts. The application offers a…

Web-based learning environments are becoming increasingly popular in higher education. One of the most important web-learning resources is the virtual laboratory (VL), which gives students an easy way for training and learning through the Internet. Moreover, on-line collaborative communication represents…

This paper describes an adaptive and autocalibrated method to track surfaces. To do so, a non time
dependent impedance control system is proposed. This method fuses visual and force information to track a
given trajectory maintaining the contact with the…

Virtual laboratories offer many advantages for the teaching of technological subjects, such as flexibility in time-tables and
student access to expensive and limited equipment. However, it is also important to evaluate the acceptability of such
laboratories by the students and…

Virtual and remote laboratories(VRLs) are e-learning resources which enhance the accessibility of experimental setups providing a distance teaching framework which meets the student's hands-on learning needs. In addition, online collaborative communication represents a practical and a constructivist method to transmit…
