In robotics classes, various types of materials about robotics are still needed for helping students to understand concepts easily, and it is difficult for all students to perform actual experiments because of the lack of the real robots. In order to solve these problems, this paper develops a web-based distance learning system for robotics, which consists of multimedia content sand a 3-dimensional robot simulator. Students can easily get multimedia contents and understand concepts about robots. Also, they can use a 3-dimensional robot simulator to Perform virtual robot experiments and connection experiments with real robots.
