Abstract. Application of e-learning is getting a new dimension due to the development of fast Internet, which makes it possible to transmit video and audio material in real time through the global Internet network. Nowadays distance learning enables students to access the college and school laboratories in real time wherever they are and whenever they want. The paper presents one of the cheapest solutions to modern WEB-based control laboratories used to educate students in the fields of mechatronics and automatic control of systems. Students can use Internet remote access to the laboratory, controlling the robot from the distant computer or via mobile phones using Android platform.
Key Words: Ethernet, mechatronics, robot control, TCPIP, Web services.

WEB PRISTUP U REALNOM VREMENU LABORATORIJI MEHATRONIKE U PROCESU ELEKTRONSKOG UČENJA
Primena e-učenja dobija novu dimenziju razvojem brzog Interneta, čime se stvaraju uslovi za prenos video i audio materijala u realnom vremenu kroz globalnu mrežu Interneta. Učenje na daljinu sada omogućava studentima pristup u realnom vremenu fakultetskim i školskim laboratorijama, sa bilo koje geografske lokacije u željenom vremenskom intervalu. Ovaj rad predstavlja jedno od jeftinijih rešenja za savremene WEB bazirane laboratorije (WEB-based control laboratory) za obrazovanje studenata u području mehatronike i automatskog upravljanja sistemima.
