Abstract

Robotic era is near, has never been before. In this new era, robotic education must have quality and accessibility for everyone. In this study, a disruptive technology for future of distance education based on virtual robotic laboratory (U-Plat) is presented. The created robotics education platform allows users to access a virtual robotics laboratory and training programs using internet interfaces. This environment allows them to control simulated robots, analyze and evaluate the results of experiments performed. U-Plat gives researchers, students and people working in the field of robotics the chance to learn Robot Operating System (ROS) and increase their knowledge with robotics training from beginner to advanced level. Also, U-Plat gives researchers opportunity to try their codes in online platform. Compared to traditional learning methods, U-Plat can be seen as an easier and more effective learning/teaching platform for ROS exercises, as it is an open source system. The user experience has been tried to be provided in all training tools with a very simplified and easily understandable interface. All designed training tools are provided through a web interface supported by advanced cloud systems and Docker container infrastructure. As a result, U-Plat is a novel robotic learning platform that can lead future laboratory research and distance robotic education.

Özet

Robotik çağı, daha önce hiç olmadığı yakın. Bu yeni çağda robotik eğitim, herkes için kaliteli ve erişilebilir olmalıdır. Bu çalışmada, sanal robotik laboratuvara (U-Plat) dayalı uzaktan eğitimin geleceği için yıkıcı bir teknoloji sunulmuştur. Oluşturulan robotik eğitim platformu, kullanıcıların internet arayüzleri kullanarak sanal bir robotik laboratuvara ve eğitim programlarına erişmelerini sağlar. Bu ortam, simüle edilmiş robotları kontrol etmelerine, gerçekleştirilen deney sonuçlarını analiz etmelerine ve değerlendirmelerine olanak tanır. U-Plat, araştırmacılara, öğrencilere ve robotik alanında çalışmalar yapan kişilere Robot İşletim Sistemini (ROS) öğrenme ve başlangıç seviyesinden ileri seviyeye robotik eğitimi ile bilgilerini artırma şansı verir. Ayrıca U-Plat, araştırmacılara kodlarını çevrimiçi platformda deneme fırsatı verir. U-Plat, geleneksel öğrenme yöntemleriyle kıyaslanacak olursa, açık kaynaklı bir sistem olması sebebiyle, ROS alıştırmalarının daha kolay ve etkili bir şekilde öğrenme/öğretme platformu olarak görülebilir. Eğitim için gerekli tüm araçlar, kullanıcı deneyimleri göz önünde bulundurularak sadeleştirilmiş bir arayüz ile sunulmaktadır. Bu araçlar, bulut ve Docker konteyner sistemleri kullanılarak, web arayüzü üzerinden kullanıcıya sunulur. Bu sistem, dört farklı türde mobil robotun görev bazlı eğitimleri ile birlikte sunulmaktadır.Sonuç olarak, U-Plat gelecekteki laboratuvar araştırmalarına ve uzaktan robotik eğitime liderlik edebilecek yeni bir robotik öğrenme platformudur.
