System modeling, control design, and low-cost hardware implementation of mechatronic systems

Abstract: Low -cost hardware solutions are used in many applications such as quad-copters and mobile robots. These low-cost solutions provide an effective platform to give students hand-on experience through project based learning.  In this presentation, we will demonstrate each step of the process for developing an embedded control system for a mobile robot using the LEGO MINDSTORM NXT hardware.  We show how to model and analyze the robot through simulation as well as design and validate a feedback controller using the simulated model.  Finally we deploy the control algorithm to the robot and validate its performance.
