IAP 2010 Activity


How Differential Equations Becomes a Robot: Expanding the Power of MATLAB with Simulink and Symbolic Math Toolbox
Carlos Osorio The MathWorks, James Cain OEIT
Thu Jan 14, 10am-12:00pm, 4-237

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

In this session, we will show how MathWorks products complement each other, and how when working with them together, users can unleash the full potential of our complete development environment. Starting from the underlying mathematical and physical principles, we will discuss the iterative process of analysis, design, and optimization involved in the development and implementation of a real-life practical application, starting from the underlying mathematical and physical principles. The demonstration example will examine how a simple second-order differential equation can evolve into a full-fledged dynamic model of a multiple-degrees-of-freedom robotic manipulator that includes the controls, electronics, and three-dimensional mechanics of the complete system.
