Design of Virtual and/or Remote Laboratories. A Practical Case

In this article we carried out an analysis on the access forms to the experimental resources of a University laboratory (present or remote through Internet), as well as the own elements and/or systems to carry Out the experiments, which can be virtual (simulated in a computer) or physical (traditionally used in the present practices). From here, we intend some design rules for laboratories of remote access with control of physical systems through virtual instruments. As practical case of application it is presented an educational project of investigation: the Laboratory of E-learning for Robots (LER) that focused to the teaching in Automatic, it is being carried out by professors, degree and postgraduate students at University of Huelva.
