Summary:The Internet provides a new environment for developing a variety
of applications for educational and research purposes. This paper
presents the implementation of a web-based laboratory experiment on a
coupled tank apparatus, a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) system. The
web-based laboratory has been developed to serve students and staff in
the Department of Electrical Engineering at the National University of
Singapore (NUS). The laboratory is an educational tool for teaching
students the basic principles and methodology in performing a series of
experiments on a coupled tank apparatus at any time and from any
location through the Internet. With the capability to implement
strategies for manual, proportional integral derivative (PID), general
state-space, and fuzzy logic control, the laboratory also provides a
platform for research staff to test control algorithms. Video
conferencing has been used to provide audio and video feedback, with a
camera mounted on a movable platform so that the user can control both
the zooming and viewing angle
