Enrollment: Register at link below
Limited to 48 participants
Prereq: Basic knowledge of dynamic modeling, controls & MATLAB
This hands-on workshop uses the built-in support in Simulink for prototyping, testing, and running models on LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT. Simulink Support for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT (SSL) aims to address the growing need for hands-on and project-based learning via low-cost, easy-to-use hardware and software that builds on the widely used MATLAB and Simulink platform.
SSL enables students to develop embedded and autonomous applications that leverage the standard sensors and actuators provided with the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT brick from within Simulink. Faculty who attend will have a chance to work through lab modules with examples of embedded genetic algorithms, motor speed control, and an mobile inverted pendulum.
Attendees will also hear about Simulink support for Arduino, BeagleBoard, and PandaBoard.
Note: This workshop (tutorial) is addressed to faculty, and open to graduate students involved in creating curriculum materials. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of dynamic modeling and controls, as well as knowledge of MATLAB.
