Remote laboratories: Proposed guidelines

In this paper, we provide a literature review of modern remote laboratories. According to this state-of-the-art, we explain why remote laboratories are at a technological crossroad, whereas they were slugging for a decade. From various observations based on our review, we try to identify possible evolutions for the next generation of remote laboratories.
