This thesis focused on developing a web-based demonstration of a concept user interface for robotics lab operations aimed at simplifying administrative and student workflows and improving resource management. The primary goals were to enhance the system's usability and security, streamline the tracking of lab instruments, and assist the lab administrator in performing tasks efficiently. Inspiration was drawn from the Oulu University of Applied Sciences robotics lab, which was used as the basis for designing this system. The existing system kept all records manually in an Excel sheet for equipment borrowing and returning, which was time-consuming. Developing a new system with increased functionality was necessary to address these challenges and provide a seamless and efficient interface.
The theoretical framework analyzed the system utilized in the OAMK robotics lab and its difficulties in managing lab operations, particularly its proneness to errors and lack of collaboration features. The framework explored the development of a web-based system to effectively manage lab operations and keep them updated with the latest technology. It integrated concepts from web-based systems, database management, user-centered design, and agile development approaches to tackle these difficulties, providing a more efficient and secure solution. Using these principles, the study aimed to show the advantages of a web-based robotics lab management system (RLMS) in improving resource management and operational efficiency.
The document covered the background, objectives, methodology, and implementation of the RLMS system application, which involved role-based access control, inventory management modules, lab resource tracking features, and communication tools.
The thesis concluded by analyzing the project's achievements, practical expertise, and future development and expansion directions. This research contributed to the field by demonstrating the potential of a web-based UI built with ASP.NET API, React UI, and an MSSQL database to enhance robotics lab operations and develop a more efficient and innovative research environment.
