QLabs Robotics

QLabs Robotics is a collection of virtual laboratory activities that supplement traditional or online robotics courses. The virtual hardware labs are based on Quanser QArm robotic manipulator and QBot 2e mobile ground robot. The virtual twins of these robots are fully instrumented and dynamically accurate, allowing users to measure simulated sensors, including video and depth data, interact with virtual environments, and work with the same code created for the "real" robots. With QLabs Robotics, you can combine physical and virtual plants to enrich your lectures and in-lab activities and increases engagement and students’ learning outcomes in class-based or online courses.

QLabs Virtual QUBE-Servo 2

Same as the physical QUBE-Servo 2, the virtual system features a DC motor with the inertia disk and inverted pendulum modules. Rotary encoders measure the angular position of the DC motor and pendulum. The motor angular velocity is measured through a software-based tachometer.

Quanser Controls Board

As automation and connected devices move from industry to commercial products and the home, an understanding of the design and implementation of control systems on hardware is essential. The courseware progression that accompanies the Quanser Controls Board begins with a grounding in the basics of modeling and control. Topics then transition into more complex strategies including optimal control, hybrid control, and digital control.

Coupled Tanks

Designed in association with Prof. Karl Åström and Prof. Karl Henrik Johansson, the Coupled Tanks system consists of a single pump with two tanks. Each tank is instrumented with a pressure sensor to measure the water level. The pump drives the water from the bottom basin up to the top of the system. Depending on how the outflow valves are configured, the water then flows to the top tank, bottom tank, or both. The rate of flow can also be changed using outflow orifices with different diameters. The ability to direct water flow, together with variable outflow orifices allows for several interesting Single Input Single Output (SISO) configurations. Further, two or more Coupled Tanks can be combined together for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) experiments.

Rotary Double Inverted Pendulum

The Double Inverted Pendulum module is composed of a rotary arm that attaches to the Rotary Servo Base Unit, a short 7-inch bottom blue rod, an encoder hinge, and the top 12-inch blue rod. The balance control computes a voltage based on the angle measurements from the encoders. This control voltage signal is amplified and applied to the Servo motor. The rotary arm moves accordingly to balance the two links and the process repeats itself.

2 DOF Inverted Pendulum/Gantry

The 2 DOF Inverted Pendulum module consists of an instrumented 2 DOF joint to which a 12-inch rod is mounted. The rod is free to swing about two orthogonal axes. The module is attached to two Rotary Servo Base Units. Their servomotors’ output shafts are coupled through a four-bar linkage, i.e., 2 DOF Robot module, resulting in a planar manipulator robot. The 2 DOF Joint is attached to the end effector of the robot arms. The goal of the 2 DOF Inverted Pendulum experiment is to command the position of the 2 DOF Robot end effector to balance the pendulum. By measuring the deviations of the vertical pendulum, a controller can be used to rotate the servos, so that the position of the end effector balances the pendulum.
