This thesis presents a framework for an intelligent interface for the access of robotsupported
remote laboratories through the Internet. The framework is composed of
the student assessment and coaching system, the experimentation scenario, and the
associated graphical user interface. Student assessment and coaching system is the
main feature of a successful intelligent interface for use during remote
experimentation with a robot-supported laboratory setup. The system has a modular
structure employing artificial neural networks and a fuzzy-rule based decision
process to model the student behaviour, to evaluate the performance and to coach
him or her towards a better achievement of the tasks to be done during the
experimentation. With an experimentation scenario designed and a graphical user
interface, the system is applied to a robotic system that is connected to the Internet
for the evaluation of the proposed framework. Illustrative examples for the operation
of the each module in the system in the context of the application are given and
sensitivity analysis of the system to the change in parameters is also done. The
framework is then applied to a mobile robot control laboratory. The user interface
and the experimentation scenario is developed for the application, and necessary
modifications are made to the student assessment and coaching system in order to
support the experiment.
