Diseño de un prototipo de laboratorio remoto para ser implementado en el laboratorio de automatización de la Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia sede Bogotá.

Resumen

In this document, the design of a remote access laboratory is presented, which will allow students and teachers to interact and carry out, through the internet, practices of modeling processes and CAD prints by means of a 3D printer. It is proposed to implement a hardware and software system that will allow to monitor and control variables remotely, from a computer equipment, located in the automation laboratory of the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia Headquarters Bogotá. The main problem that motivated the development of this research is the pandemic, which has an impact that generated total confinements, forcing the Cooperative University of Colombia to temporarily close its headquarters and reinvent its teaching models, despite the fact that there are different platforms that manage to successfully replace the face-to-face teaching model through virtuality, the institution still has a major drawback with the development of its practical classes due to the lack of availability of remote resources that allow students and teachers to manipulate the different laboratory equipment that is currently had. The objective of this research is to design the prototype of the remote laboratory, with a reliable and secure technological infrastructure, which allows access and development of a remote practice. A data analysis was carried out that allowed to accurately identify the type of practices, the number of students and the equipment that is used most frequently in the automation laboratory of the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia Sede Bogotá, this was carried out in order to Identify the different variables that allow determining the laboratory equipment that conforms to the design that will be implemented as a remote laboratory.
