This paper presents a Virtual Workbench for Automation teaching/learning at undergraduate education level. The methodology defined as well as the formalism and the software tools adopted in the implementation are presented. A case study is detailed following the defined steps. The platform was tested by students attending the Process Control and Automation curricular unit from the 3rd year of the Master in Engi...
The simulation of different physiological systems is very useful as a pedagogical tool, allowing a better understanding of the mechanisms and the functions thereof. Thus, the observation of physiological phenomena through mechanical simulators represents a great asset. Furthermore, the development of these simulators allows for the reinterpretation of physiological systems. The cardiovascular system is one of t...
A remote laboratory should meet the students' pedagogical needs, and should be accessible anytime and anywhere. This work briefly describes a remote laboratory directed to biomedical engineering education, developed using LabVIEW software. The most apparent limitationin the use of LabVIEW is the inability to access from some technological platforms. Therefore, the present paper provides an overview of the worki...
The aim of this paper is to present a platform for remote monitoring of bedridden people developed in the context of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). This platform, Medical Care Terminal (MCT), includes the measurement of biomedical data (body temperature, galvanic skin resistance, electrocardiogram and electromyogram, level of oxygen, body position and breathing) as well environmental data (level of alcohol in t...
A great number cif remote laboratories has been implemented in the engineering field. Nevertheless, there are few approaching the bioengineering area. The present paper will describe not only an innovative remote laboratory developed for biomedical engineering education, but also its assessment based on the target public's feedback. The remote laboratory developed by the research team intends to provide the phy...
This work is developed in the context of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) and has as main objective the development of a mechatronic system that allows the care of bedridden patients with ongoing medical care handled by a single person. The developed Medical Care Terminal (MCT) improves autonomy in home care, safety, comfort, and hygiene of bedridden patients. The MCT has six biomedical sensors and four environmen...
