«Online Experimentation and New Experiences in Remote Laboratories»
María Teresa RestivoUniversity of Porto
Abstract
Online experimentation is based on emergent technologies, like remote access to experimentation, virtual 2D and 3D experimentation, augmented reality applications combined with sensorial devices for remote or virtual reality interaction and other additional tools such as serious games and live videos, available through web platforms and exploring and increasing the user immersion in real systems or in their virtual replicas. In this travel around the different possibilities, in the areas of education, industrial and medical training, and research and knowledge dissemination, new contributions will be presented, namely those offered by the NeReLa Consortium. Aspects such as resources evaluation will be also referred.
Bio
Maria Teresa Restivo has a degree in Solid State Physics and a PhD in Engineering Sciences. Her research and teaching activities, are accomplished within the Automation, Instrumentation and Control Group of the Mechanical Engineering Department (DEMec) of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) and the System Integration and Process Automation Research Unit (UISPA) within the Associated Laboratory for Energy, Transports and Aeronautics (LAETA-INEGI). These activities are related with the intelligent control of laboratory/industrial systems, development of sensors also for the health area, virtual instrumentation, online experimentation, wireless sensorization, as well as the use of emergent technologies in training and in education. She is author (or co-author) of articles, book chapters and books.
