RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF LABORATORY INSTALLATIONS FOR STUDYING PHYSICAL PHENOMENA USING MODERN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGIES

he aim of this work is to develop an electronic laboratory device for physical experiments on a mathematical pendulum in order to digitize laboratory processes, providing the ability to conduct experiments in a virtual computer environment while maintaining the quality and accuracy of traditional laboratory research. It is expected that its results will not only improve the educational process, but will also contribute to further research in the field of e-education and the development of laboratory devices. For this purpose, we analyzed the potential of existing devices, on the basis of which alternative digital experimental complexes for studying physical phenomena in the laboratory conditions of scientific institutions were formulated and developed. These complexes, based on computer vision technology, are presented in this article. During the study, reliable methods of scientific analysis were used, including theoretical justification of hardware solutions, experimental testing of the developed software packages and final computer processing of experimental data. The study described in the article presents an innovative mechanism for identifying objects using computer vision, which helps to increase the accuracy of measurements and opens up new possibilities for conducting physical experiments. The developed laboratory complexes on mechanics include hardware and software parts. The software part consists of server and client modules, and the hardware part consists of the main stage, where the physical process takes place. Various objects are located on this stage, such as a mathematical pendulum or an inclined plane, with the help of which it is possible to analyze many physical phenomena and processes of mechanics. Additionally, the installation includes a microcomputer and a camera, providing automated data collection and processing.
