Convenient

Students and professionals get 24/7 access through a web platform. Setup is always ready, peripherals included.

Cost-effective

Students and professionals can access the remote laboratories as many times as they want, anytime, anywhere. With no upfront cost and an affordable subscription.

Engaging

Students and professionals are engaged by accessing real devices online. Through a real-time live stream of the equipment and with the remonetized hardware, they can interact with the lab in real-time.

Technology

The project consortium is implementing a novel product: an ARM-based remote lab for IoT & CLEC to allow students, trainees & developers to control dev-oriented ARM hardware via the Internet for education, training, and new product development. It is expected to lead to broader CLEC & IoT usage and to improve and benefit engineering education.

Engineering universities

Practicing with real equipment is critical for technical education, especially in areas such as embedded systems, ARM microcontrollers, IoT & sensorics. It will also be particularly useful for IoT & CLEC related MSc’s, which are expected to keep growing in popularity. It would enable universities to save costs (requiring less hardware and sharing equipment) and to improve their education, even when being used in-class and even having access to hands-on laboratories. For distance learning (or COVID-19), the benefits are even greater, since access to hands-on labs is often impossible or very expensive (in the case of personal kits).

Online courses for IoT & ARM controllers

While software-related online courses in platforms such as edX or Coursera are particularly popular, hardware-oriented ones are limited. Partially because those courses require access to real hardware, which is often expensive and complicated to set up. Our product would empower such courses with real hardware in a very cost-effective way.

Corporate training

Engineering companies often need to train their employees or their customers in specific technologies (e.g., ARM programming, low-energy computing, IoT hardware controlling, etc). For this, they need access to real hardware, which implies high costs and logistic difficulties. The product would solve this, allowing more convenient in-person training or even remote-training with real hardware. Companies such as Intel Corporation use other previous LabsLand labs for this.

Industrial rapid prototyping

Likewise, engineers developing projects for ARM, low-energy computing and IoT need access to real hardware. This once again implies great costs and difficulties, especially when remote work is involved (an ever more popular option)An analysis framework using ML/AI algorithms to deliver advanced diagnostics for EMDS - To improve the motor operational efficiency and support predictive maintenance features.
