Here are the sessions I think will interest most Simulink users.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Introduction to Simulink: Quadcopter Simulation and Control<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In this talk, Ryan Gordon will go through the steps he went through to design a controller for a Parrot\u00ae AR.Drone\u00ae quadcopter:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Modeling the quadrotor using Simulink and SimMechanics<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Importing CAD files for visualization<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Designing and tuning a controller using Simulink Control Design<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Deploying the controller on the ARM Cortex processor of the Parrot\u00ae AR.Drone\u00ae<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>If you are interested by that topic, I also recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mathworks.com\/videos\/quadcopter-simulation-and-control-made-easy-93365.html\">this video about quadcopter simulation and control<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Using Arduino with MATLAB and Simulink<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arduino.cc\/\">Arduino boards<\/a>, they offer many possibilities... especially when programmed with MATLAB and Simulink.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you are interested in getting started with Arduino, don't miss this session. Dan Seal will go through a complete example that will give you all the basic knowledge you need to get started programming your Arduino boards with Simulink.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>What\u2019s New in MATLAB and Simulink R2015a<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you are using Simulink every day, you will benefit from learning about new features you can integrate into your work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Using MATLAB and Simulink for Robotics<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Did you know that in R2015a, MathWorks offers a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mathworks.com\/products\/robotics\/\">Robotics System Toolbox<\/a>?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I plan to blog about this new toolbox soon, but if you can't wait, this talk by Yanliang Zhang is for you. You will learn how the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ros.org\/\">Robot Operating System (ROS)<\/a> interface allows you to deploy your Simulink models on any ROS-enabled device.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Presentation of the Platform for the Development of Aircraft Engine Monitoring Algorithms: SAMANTA<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In this presentation, J\u00e9r\u00f4me Lacaille and Aur\u00e9lie Gouby, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safran-aircraft-engines.com\/\">Safran<\/a>, will talk about an environment the created to design and develop health monitoring algorithms for aircraft engines.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I don't know much about this topic, but I will attend this session to learn more about this very interesting project.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case your were not aware, this March 25th is the MATLAB Virtual Conference.\r\n\r\nWhether you are a beginner or an expert with MATLAB and Simulink, I am sure you can find interesting sessions for... <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/simulink\/2015\/03\/24\/matlab-virtual-conference-2015\/\">read more >><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[34],"tags":[156],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/simulink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4513"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/simulink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/simulink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/simulink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/simulink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4513"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/simulink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4513\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8973,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/simulink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4513\/revisions\/8973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/simulink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/simulink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.mathworks.com\/simulink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
