Dear ,
In the air or on the ground, in separate formations or working together, Quanser's Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS) have been making quite a buzz in academic circles. Students around the world find them highly motivating. Teachers appreciate their versatility and flexibility. And researchers count on them to perform consistently. In this issue we look at Quanser UVS Labs around the world, along with a new LabVIEW™ add-on that speeds up control design:
If you have a story about how your lab is teaching or conducting research using unmanned vehicles, we'd like to hear about it. Videos are welcome.
Sincerely,

 What In The World Are Top Professors Doing In Their UVS Labs?

Why did Professor Rastko Selmic of Louisiana Tech University choose Quanser when it came to building his unmanned vehicle laboratory? His rationale was straightforward. "The system is easy to operate", he says, "offers rapid prototyping and testing of algorithms, and can be used in a variety of teaching and research setups." Dr. Selmic's reasons are echoed by professors around the world who are studying the control of unmanned air and ground vehicles.

LabVIEW For Control Design. Easier. Faster.

There's nothing more frustrating for students than wasting precious time setting up hardware and software when they should really be spending most of their lab time focused on high-level learning. To help anyone working in the National Instruments LabVIEW graphical development environment to avoid that problem, we created the Quanser Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) Toolkit.

| In Your Own Words |
"The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) chose Quanser systems because they're modular, easy to set-up and use. The products are quite unique and support a variety of topics in controls."
Oleg Yakimenko, Professor, Systems Engineering and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Naval Postgraduate School, USA |
