In a previous blog post, I described the modeling and left off with a high-level discussion on how you would implement controllers once you had a model built.
In this post, Carlos Santacruz-Rosero and I will dig down into the details of control. We will describe the different ways that humanoid… read more >>

A few weeks ago, I visited Florida Atlantic University’s Team Owltonomous, who compete in RoboNation student competitions like RoboBoat, RobotX and from 2019 onwards RoboSub as well! Our discussions spanned a range of topics including designing object detection… read more >>

Connell D’Souza our co-blogger has worked with a team that develops robotic boats. The outcome is clearly impressive.

Hi everyone — Sebastian here. I’ve been doing a few presentations at schools and robotics events, so I wanted to convert these talks into a comprehensive blog post for everyone else. I hope you enjoy this material!
Many people know MATLAB (and maybe Simulink) as the “calculator” they had to use… read more >>

Today, let me share why I would model and simulate while designing a race car.
Bottom line: It can save you time, resources, and help you test your ideas that would be difficult to realize using hardware prototypes.
Modeling
Modeling is a way to create a virtual representation of a real-world system that… read more >>

Today’s guest post is by Veer Alakshendra. Veer will be sharing a Simscape – Simulink modeling and controls workflow for pneumatic actuators throwing a ball at a target.

Robotics programmers have been putting more emphasis on simulation for both hardware and software design. Here are a few reasons why:

You may not have available hardware, or selecting… read more >>

We regularly hear about the need for HQ tire test data. Teams need it for modeling their vehicles, conducting lap-time simulation or even race-(scenario)-simulations. As we are good with software and not so good in getting our hands dirty, we thought we could help by providing a script for tire… read more >>
