QLabs Virtual QArm

Virtual platform for distance and blended undergraduate robotics courses

Robotics & Mechatronics Manipulator Robotics Software Virtual Experiments

QLabs Virtual QArm is a fully instrumented, dynamically accurate virtual twin of a Quanser QArm system. It behaves in the same way as the physical hardware and can be measured and controlled using MATLAB®/Simulink® and other development environments. QLabs Virtual QArm can enrich your lectures and activities in traditional labs, or bring credible, authentic model-based lab experiences into your distance and online robotics course.

QLabs Virtual QArm is available as a 12-month, multi-seat subscription. The platform is compatible with the physical QArm curriculum which covers concepts including joint control, kinematics, path planning, statics, and dynamics.
