Resumen

This article presents the remote laboratory designed at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) to provide remote access, through the Internet, to theeducational robot Dobot Magician. The software of the remote lab consists of the ReNoLabs web server (programmed in Node.js) that manages the access to the lab, displays its web pages, and serves as a communication gateway between the control software (programmed in Python) that interacts directly with the robot) and the web graphical interface of the experience (designed in EJsS). EJsS is also used to centrally manage the lab, after expanding its functionality through a Plugin. In addition, the above software, created with free software tools, runs on a Raspberry Pi and the web interface of the experience can be integrated, if desired, into a general learning management system such as Moodle. Finally, the article also presents a couple of practical examples of the use of the remote laboratory.
