Java software platform for the development of advanced robotic virtual laboratories

This article presents an interactive Java software platform which enables any user to easily create advanced virtual laboratories (VLs) for Robotics. This novel tool provides both support for developing applications with full 3D interactive graphical interface and a complete functional framework for modelling and simulation of arbitrary serial-link manipulators. In addition, its software architecture contains a high number of functionalities included as high-level tools, with the advantage of allowing any user to easily develop complex interactive robotic simulations with a minimum of programming. In order to show the features of the platform, the article describes, step-by-step, the implementation methodology of a complete VL for Robotics education using the presented approach. Finally, some educational results about the experience of implementing this approach are reported.

Hot laboratories : a literature search /

This search, containing 126 references, was prepared to serve as a guide to the report literature on the design and construction of hot laboratories. These reports are listed alpha-numerically. Articles selected from scientific journals and which appear in the 1951 thru 1959 issues of Nuclear Science Abstracts (NSA) are included. These articles are listed under Published References according to NSA reference number, and therefore chronologically.
