VRL, a Novel Environment for Control Engineering Practicing: An Application to a Fault Tolerant Control System

Virtual remote laboratory (VRL) is a powerful tool for an effective active learning in control engineering formation because it gives the opportunity of testing remotely control laws both by simulations within a virtual reality framework and by remote experiments. In this paper the virtual environment VRL is described and an application of a fault tolerant control law on an inverted pendulum is shown
