This paper discusses a real-time e-Lab Learning system based on the
integration of 3D visualization technology with a remote robotic
laboratory. With the emergence and development of the Internet
field, online learning is proving to play a significant role in the
upcoming era. In an effort to enhance Internet-based learning of
robotics and keep up with the rapid progression of technology, a 3-
Dimensional scheme of viewing the robotic laboratory has been
introduced in addition to the remote controlling of the robots. The
uniqueness of the project lies in making this process Internet-based,
and remote robot operated and visualized in 3D. This 3D system
approach provides the students with a more realistic feel of the 3D
robotic laboratory even though they are working remotely. As a
result, the 3D visualization technology has been tested as part of a
laboratory in the MET 205 Robotics and Mechatronics class and has
received positive feedback by most of the students. This type of
research has introduced a new level of realism and visual
communications to online laboratory learning in a remote classroom.
