Remote laboratory (also known as online laboratory or remote workbench) is the use of telecommunications to remotely conduct real (as opposed to virtual) experiments, at the physical location of the operating technology, whilst the scientist is utilizing technology from a separate geographical location.
[1] The benefits of remote laboratories are predominantly in engineering education:[2] The disadvantages differ depending on the type of remote laboratory and the topic area.
The general disadvantages compared to a proximal (hands on) laboratory are: Current system capabilities include: For India's virtual labs project, see Virtual Labs (India).
