Dear Reader
Our May eNewsletter brings you news about cutting-edge technology for engineering education and research in the areas of Mechatronics, Robotics, Haptics and Control.
From
automotive to aerospace, engineers from different disciplines team up to work
on complex mechatronics systems. To solve industry-relevant problems, students
can benefit from multi-disciplinary skills and modern lab equipment. More...
Dr. Krovi tells us how his custom-designed mechatronic motion platform is being used for
innovative research. Read feature story...
With growing applications of unmanned vehicles
technology, Quanser continues its research in the area. Bringing haptics on
board allows to remotely perform new tasks and feel the ride. Full story...
Quanser's innovative robotic and haptic technology is being recognized by IDC, a global analyst firm.
Come to experience
Quanser's new cutting edge-technology in person. We hope to see you at our upcoming conferences!

 New Mechatronic Controls Collection
Magnets for Better Students |  As the systems around us become more and more complex, the mechatronic approach to their design starts to play a very important role. In the past eNEWS we introduced the new systems from Mechatronic Controls Collection: Active Suspension, 3 DOF Gyroscope, Hexapod - a 6 DOF motion platform, 2 DOF Planar Robot or Industrial Mechatronics Drive Unit. Now you can bring innovative experiments to your teaching or research lab. Jacob Apkarian, Quanser's Founder and CTO explains how these systems can give
students the multi-disciplinary skills to solve complex industry-relevant problems. Watch his video message. To see new systems from the Mechatronic Controls Collection in action, visit ACC, ASEE and SEFI. Take part in our technical sessions and discussions at these events. Click here for details. |
New Advanced Research
How Does it "Feel" to Drive a UGV?
|
 Currently in the research phase, the second generation of Quanser's Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) was out for a series of experimental drives. This new UGV incorporates haptics to provide users with an immersive driving experience through force feedback. Remote operator can use an on-board GPS, camera and robotic arms. Whether operated remotely or in autonomous mode, robotic
arms allow the 'driver' to manipulate remote objects as if with their own hands - thanks to the precision and dexterity of haptic force feedback Quanser designed.

Industry Spotlight
Quanser: One to Watch, Analysts Say
|  The healthcare industry is embarking on a transformation towards innovative solutions to reduce costs and improve patient care, says IDC, the premier global provider of market intelligence. Its recent study 10 Canadian Healthcare Solutions to Watch features Quanser and its achievements in areas such
as surgical training and rehabilitation.
In June, Quanser's
expertise in medical robotic and haptic technology lends itself to the Canadian Surgical Technologies & Advanced Robotics ( CSTAR) Industry Roundtable. Together with Johnson&Johnson, IBM, Health Canada and other partners, Quanser helps combine intellectual capital with resources to create technologies, services and training opportunities that have both clinical value and commercialization potential.
