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...
In September we lost a dear friend, colleague, and mentor, Lueny Morell. Lueny was a leading figure in the global engineering education community. Her unwavering optimism and pioneering spirit inspired many of us to envision an engineering profession that was...
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...
All of us here at Quanser know that teaching controls is hard. It's even harder to give students meaningful, engaging, and exciting controls lab experiences. These days, engineering educators are faced with a whole new challenge: teaching in the era...
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...
Today, most control systems are being implemented on digital computers, using either a PC/laptop or a microprocessor unit (MCU) like Raspberry Pi or Arduino. Gone are the days of implementing your PID on an analog circuit. However, controllers implemented on...
