Modelo metodológico de un laboratorio remoto de robótica industrial e industria 4.0 aplicado a mejorar el aprendizaje de estudiantes de ingeniería de la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja.

Abstract

The objective of this work is to present a methodological model of a Remote Laboratory of Industrial Robotics, whose technological architecture complies with the characteristics of lndustry 4.0 and at the same time is integrated into a Moodle learning management system, which allows demonstrating the progress of the knowledge acquired by the students of Engineering of the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL). To carry out this research, and analysis of the hardware and software elements that the technical architecture of an LR should have was carried out, and this select these elements according to the specific characteristics of equifed by this project, considering the hardware elements that are already with the physical laboratory of the UTPL, thus factlltating its Subsequent lmplemental loR. Likewise, the EPSON RC+ virtual software was used in this project, which allowed programming and verifying the operation of three experiments that were proposed according to the to PLCS included in the sylla bus of the industrial robotics course at UTPL subsequently. Moodle was selected as the ideal learning management system for this study, due to its ease of use, scalability, integration with other systems, support, adaptability’ to different types of standards, and its open source license. Finally, the last section contains the phases in which the methodological model of the Remote Laboratory is carried out, as well as the hypothesis testing, conclusions, and recommendations found during this study.
