Today, allow me to introduce the MathWorks online training on physical modeling, more specifically on vehicle modeling for student teams. I will give an overview of the learning outcomes and share how teams successfully used vehicle modeling.
Why Vehicle Modeling?
There are some scenarios where trial-and-error wouldn’t be an option, right?! Just… read more >>

In today’s blog post Jose Avendano Arbelaez, who already blogged in the racing lounge will introduce you to  a video series of training materials that will enable your team to get started with designing and simulating common mobile robotics algorithms in MATLAB and Simulink.

Today’s cars are incredibly more complex than the vehicles we drove even 10 years ago, and with the move to advanced driver safety features, electric vehicles and autonomous driving there are no signs that this trend is slowing down.
That said, car makers today aren’t just tapping the brains of seasoned… read more >>

Today, I am happy to introduce Andrea Casadio, he is a junior mechanical engineer and first-time guest in this blog. Andrea is going to describe his thesis work at Politecnico di Torino in which he developed Simscape™ libraries for vehicle modeling.
Thank you Andrea for providing the community with your work on… read more >>

This blog post is the third one in an ongoing series introducing the MathWorks student competition team. The team is further growing and we are now 12 folks located in Boston (US), Bangalore (India), Cambridge (UK), and Munich (DE). Today’s post will introduce our new members Maitreyee, Alexa, Jose,… read more >>

In the first part of this post, I introduced the hydraulic decoupled suspension concept designed by Timothy Novotny and Alex Hönger from AMZ Racing.
In this second part learn about their design process and how they verified and tested the hydraulic decoupled suspension.
Dimensioning
A question about the weight target was asked during… read more >>
