REDTAIL is a repository of simulations and digital twins connected to real remote laboratories. It enables students to interact with real hardware through simulations, expanding access to hands-on laboratory experiences.
The REDTAIL project is developed by the Remote Hub Lab research group at the University of Washington and LabsLand.
- Remote laboratory exercises for undergraduate courses
- Digital twins synchronized with real hardware
- Pre-lab simulation and post-lab analysis
- Online and hybrid laboratory instruction
REDTAIL simulations are connected to real, remotely accessible laboratory hardware.
Each simulation page lists supported devices and access requirements.
Instructors can browse simulations, review laboratory exercises, and request solution materials.
If you register with an academic email address, we will validate your account and provide instructor-only access.
Students can explore simulations and digital twins connected to real laboratory equipment.
Your instructor will indicate which simulations are part of your course.
REDTAIL provides canonical laboratory assignments demonstrating best practices for integrating simulations with real hardware.
These assignments serve as reference implementations for instructors.
All REDTAIL source code is open-source and publicly available on GitHub.
