Remote Learning of Mechatronics

Abstract A learning environment is presented where on-site and remote components merge into a learning process. This environment, developed by a EU-funded project "DERIVE" includes a supportive web-database with multimedia learning sequences providing theoretical background information, exercises and help-functions. The mixed reality concept connects virtuality and reality, and is based on bond graph description of dynamic systems and a bi-directional sensor-actor interface called hyper bond.
