Summer is traditionally packed with conferences and tradeshows. Quanser will be at ACC and ASEE in June and we are looking forward to meeting with educators, researchers, students and other partners. As always, we will show our latest innovations. We are especially proud of the Innovation Hub - an interactive demo in a designated area where you can experience unamnned vehicle technology hands-on.
Can't make it to the tradeshows? Then take a look at another interactive tool we are releasing in June - an online tutorial that explains what's unique about QUARC, software from Quanser to help you accelerate real-time control design.
A lot of development at Quanser is driven by you, our customers and collaborators. Learn how your feedback has helped improve Quanser's Hexapod, a 6 DOF motion platform.
The research and development work being done by our engineering team, regularly embraced by academia, has recently received attention from our Provincial Government as well. Read how members of the Canadian Government acknowledge the industrial relevance of technology Quanser is developing for academia.
If you are curious about our solutions for teaching and research, don't miss a chance to see them live. Click to see at which upcoming events around the world Quanser will be doing live demonstrations. We hope to meet you there.

 New Teaching and Research Tools
Your Feedback Improves the Hexapod |
 Do you wonder what happens with customer feedback or comments many companies seem so eager to collect? At Quanser we take them seriously - and act upon them. Take the Hexapod, our 6 DOF motion platform released last year. Researchers around the world use it for applications ranging from the earthquake research to the bite analysis of saber tooth tigers. Although happy with Hexapod's performance, they had some suggestions. That's why our new and improved Hexapod is faster, stronger and more compact.
Read about the Hexapod improvements on our engineering blog. |
Focused on QUARC
Master QUARC with Help from Mr. Q |
Have you met Mr. Q? He is the best person to talk to if you want to learn about QUARC, Quanser's real-time control software. Mr. Q will guide you through our interactive online tutorial and show you all the features and capabilities of QUARC. Plus, he will let you try it yourself, even if you do not have MATLAB software installed on your computer. The QUARC interactive tutorial is an excellent tool for you and your students to get familiar with the rapid prototyping environment and explore all the capabilities it brings you.

Industry Spotlight
Government Leaders Recognize Quanser's Innovative Edge |
 Quanser's expertise in the fields of robotics, haptics and unmanned systems has recently been acknowledged by our Provincial Government. First, we were invited to join the Ontario 2010 Life Sciences Mission to Israel and the West Bank. There we explored possible research collaborations in the healthcare field. Thereafter, our unmanned systems technology was highlighted by Ontario Minister of Economic Development and Trade, in a presentation at an exclusive VIP Global Aerospace Symposium in Windsor, Canada. The cutting-edge robotic, haptic and unmanned vehicle technologies that caught the attention of our government are utilized in control labs worldwide to advance engineering education and research.

| In Your Own Words | |
 "The Quanser team understands that the academic research atmosphere is not 'one size fits all'. They provide high quality products for real-time control. And they are responsive to our needs when we need to push the capabilities of their products. This relationshio has been mutually benefitial, and our productivity has improved with their products and support."
Dr. Marcia O'Malley, Rice University, USA

The Key to Better Research Results
|
Professor Krovi needed a unique motion platform for his research. He opted for collaboration with an industrial partner to develop a complex mechatronic system - and saved time and money.
