So, I hope my last blog post convinced you that pendulums have some serious real-life applications and how they can be used to teach and research important concepts in modelling and control systems. There are different types of pendulum systems...
Back Then... In the late 2000s, there were no iPhones, no YouTube, no Arduinos or Raspberry Pi's, the DotCom bubble was still growing, Google was still a new thing. You had to pay hundreds of dollars for a C compiler,...
This has been an exciting year for Quanser, with groundbreaking projects taking off around the world. However, as the air starts to cool off here in Canada and we start to finalize plans for the engineering projects that will occupy...
For two weeks during this past August, I have had the pleasure of attending the AI For Engineering Summer School 2019 hosted by Autodesk. This two-week course took place at the beautiful Autodesk Technology Centre located in the MaRS Discovery...
You would be hard-pressed to find a physics, dynamics, or control system textbook without an example of a pendulum. Why is that? Many students struggle to see how doing work on a seemingly unpractical device will help them learn tools...
For decades, the core of engineering education has been built on large, dense, and nigh impenetrable textbooks that were handed down from on high. Students were expected to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars to access these resources, at...
