Model Predictive Control (MPC) has gained a lot of popularity over the last 15 years and for a good reason – it works well with relatively little design effort. MPC was originally developed for the process control industry. So it only made sense to test...
Ever since we released our Self-Driving Car Research Studio (SDRS), I’ve dedicated some of my time to finding innovative ways to push the boundaries of what's possible and exciting with our offering. In this blog I am going to talk...
Hello again! In the previous blog, I talked about the thought process that went behind developing Quanser's serial manipulator platform - the QArm. Today, I want to show you how I was able to rapidly develop a pick and place...
One common application to autonomous mobile robotics is the idea of line following, which for self-driving cars is expanded to the concept of autonomous lane following. This application can be a starting step into developing a fully autonomous driving example...
We have worked with quite a few arm manufacturers, such as Kinova, KUKA, or Denso in the past. Our open architecture via the rapid control prototyping software QUARC allowed you to use these devices from Simulink, designing your own algorithms...
When we launched the Self-Driving Car Research Studio with its feature vehicle, a 1/10 scale QCar earlier this year, we promised a wide array of application examples, including, of course, a self-driving one. We have developed line-following applications before, and...
