The Boeing 737 Max crashes further reinforced the importance of safety-critical software design. Training engineers who are qualified and experienced in this field requires a special strategy. We have developed a setup consisting of 2 DOF Inverted Pendulums and two torsional modules using Quanser products to train such engineers.
In this webinar, Prof. Brian Armstrong from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) will discuss how they used the Quanser Rotary Servo in their control systems laboratory to teach progressively more detailed system identification, modeling, and controls design techniques. Prof. Armstrong will describe how they modified the Rotary Servo hardware for this motion tracking experiment, its...
In this Quanser YOUser webinar, Prof. Shan introduces research on multi-agent systems recently conducted by his research group in the Spacecraft Dynamics, Control, and Navigation Laboratory at York University.
Learning control systems can significantly improve the tracking performance and robustness of repetitive systems. Specifically, the iterative learning control (ILC), which follows the concept of learn from mistakes, can offer precise trajectory tracking through adaptive framework. This webinar explain the current cycle feedback ILC for a class of under-actuated system and analyze the...
Over the last decade, Dr. Mascaro has developed a unique hands‐on curriculum for a course in Robot Control at the University of Utah. This curriculum covers the fundamentals of dynamic motion control and force/interaction control.
In this webinar, Dr. Hamke will discuss his student-centric approach to encouraging and supporting engineering students – from undergraduate to graduate level - to find creative solutions in a project-oriented environment. The process will be illustrated with Quanser QDrone-related projects and their solutions.
Quanser's Self-Driving Car Research Studio is a highly expandable and powerful platform designed specifically for academic research. It provides tools and components that allow researchers to work with multiple software environments.
For decades, Quanser has been providing engineering students with rich interactive learning experiences on hardware in the lab. The COVID-19 crisis has catalyzed the Quanser academic team to deliver a platform that can provide turn-key remote lab experiences overnight. Based on our industry-leading hardware platforms, we have created a suite of virtual plants and curriculum that is interactive...
This webinar from Quanser covers two main topics. First will be a brief overall view of the challenges and latest developments on making unmanned systems smarter, safer, and more reliable & resilient. The second part of the presentation will introduce some of the new developments and current research.
In the last part of the interview, Dr. Jacob Apkarian, Quanser Founder and CTO, shares his view on where the autonomous robotics research is heading.
