Teleoperation of an experimental platform of electrical machines through the Internet

Although access to remote equipment through the Internet is becoming an actively investigated topic, most current implementation are dedicated to specific application environments, for example, remote laboratory. A Remote laboratory offers a cost-effective and flexible means for students to shared access to physical experiments. This paper presents the implementation of a experimental platform of induction motor though the Internet account the following important features: Easy implementation based in Software, webCam for images and video capture, online Help based on IP telephony, computes to distribute the task. The developed scheme is versatile and robust, allowing the different control and observer actions remotely through the Internet.
