Dear Reader
Understanding theory learned in class and seeing it in practice is one way to create better engineers. For undergraduate studies, the SRV02 and it modules are still the most popular choice. Find out why.
Stay tuned for more on the new unmanned systems in November's issue. Sincerely, Zuzana Fabusova, eNEWS Editor |
 Teaching Tools
An Old Classic Motivates Modern Students |
 Did you know that Quanser's rotary motion servo has been around for almost 20 years? This Classic control experiment is a staple in many labs around the world. It is basis for seven modular rotary experiments, and it is still the most popular teaching tool. We can even name a few good reasons: - easily turn the Inverted Pendulum into a Ball and Beam or other rotary experiment - curriculum included for various MIMO and SISO configurations - seamless integration with MATLAB/Simulink or LabVIEW Find out how to enhance your students' control theory studies with SRV02-based experiments and accompanying instructor and student workbooks.

Advanced Teaching and Research
Unmanned Systems for Indoor Missions |
|
To help researchers in this field, Quanser is developing unmanned systems capable of performing complex missions indoors as a fleet. Watch this video of Qball Quadrotor UAV providing an aerial escort as the Qbot UGV successfully navigates through a series of user-controlled waypoints on the ground.

| In Your Own Words |
"We use Quanser teaching tools in our undergraduate labs for many years. In fact, we are often complimented that our control systems labs are the best they [students] experienced in all the various disciplines in their studies."
Dr. David Wang, Professor, University of Waterloo, Canada |
