  This paper describes the design and implementation of a virtual and remote
laboratory based on Easy Java Simulations (EJS) and LabVIEW. The main
application of this laboratory is to improve the study of sensors in Mobile
Robotics, dealing with the problems that arise on the real world experiments.
This laboratory allows the user to work from their homes, tele-operating a real
robot that takes measurements from its sensors in order to obtain a map of its
environment. In addition, the application allows interacting with a robot
simulation (virtual laboratory) or with a real robot (remote laboratory), with
the same simple and intuitive graphical user interface in EJS. Thus, students
can develop signal processing and control algorithms for the robot in
simulation and then deploy them on the real robot for testing purposes.
Practical examples of application of the laboratory on the inter University
Master of Systems Engineering and Automatic Control are presented.
