You could be forgiven for thinking that we at Quanser would never want you to "do it yourself," since DIY implementations of servos, robots, and drones can be seen as our competitor. However, quite the opposite is true. Do it...
Magnetic levitation technology is used in applications such as contactless photolithography to improve the yield of PCB and microprocessor production. However, magnetic levitation does come with its own set of problems to solve. As discussed in one of our Intermediate...
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...
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...
I've seen a lot of inverted pendulums balancing in my day. From single, double, and triple, to flexible, dual, and mounted on a seesaw, I thought I'd seen it all. But a few months ago, we met with a team...
You can find servomotors in many different systems. They are used in the joints of robot manipulator arms in car assembly plants, open valves in process plants, make electronic toys move, or are implemented in car power steering. They are...
