Potential of Embedded Processors and Cloud for Remote Experimentation

Abstract

Traditionally remote laboratories are developed by utilizing personal computers (PC) or workstations as the main controller unit on the experiment side and a local server for database and user management. However, given the emergence of new technologies, embedded processors are becoming more powerful, faster, and resourceful. It is now possible to replace personal computers or workstation with embedded processor boards. In addition, remote laboratory Based on this scenario, this paper reports the development of several remote experimentation facilities in which embedded processors and cloud are utilized to replace PCs and local servers.
