1. A system comprising:
- an experimentation platform controlled by a first device;
a second device in communication with the first device and located at a remote location;
wherein an experiment using the experimentation platform may be conducted by inputting at least one instruction on the second device; and
wherein the second device relays the at least one instruction to the first device for controlling the experimentation platform.

Abstract
Remotely controlled platforms for experimentation provide for centralized placement of costly and space consuming experimentation equipment. Additionally, remotely controlled platforms take advantage of economies of scale to make the centralized experimentation platforms more available for students and researchers of institutions that cannot afford to have institutional ownership of the experimentation platforms.
