Abstract (EN): Laboratories are an important educational resource to provide experimental exploration. For distance learning, several labs have been developed and can be used over the Internet for remote experiments. A remote experiment can performed in a virtual environment, in a virtual replica of a real lab or even in a real lab monitored by cameras. The goal of this paper is to present a way to improve the interaction in remote experiments by the use of haptic devices. Index Terms—Haptic devices, remote laboratory, virtual laboratory.
