The new QDrone, a key component of the Quanser Autonomous Vehicles Research Studio, was designed to withstand all kinds of crashes, slams, and accidents. We wanted to give researchers a reliable and robust system, so they can test and tune their controllers without worrying about the vehicle damage.
Featuring the Intel Aero Compute board-powered Qdrones, Qbot 2 ground robots, Optitrack camera system, ground control station and Quanser's QUARC real-time rapid control prototyping software for Simulink, the research studio helps you start your work faster. Rather than spending time on integrating hobby-level drones, tedious coding, or other low-level tasks, you can start testing your...
Quanser YOUser Webinar with Dr. Michael Frye, University of the Incarnate Word
This video demonstrates the QDrone manual flight control in a Position Mode (joystick input is a target location), Angle Mode (joystick input is a target attitude) and a Torque Mode (joystick input is a direct system torque, i.e., motor command).
In the webinar "Research on Experimental Dynamics at the University of Rijeka – Rocking, Self-Organisation, and Multiple-Support Excitation," Dr. Gordan Jelenic and his Ph.D. students, Nina Ceh and Miran Tuhtan from the University of Rijeka introduced a unique seismic laboratory at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, featuring uniaxial and two biaxial shake tables. They highlighted the current...
The Intel Aero Compute board-powered QDrone with multiple on-board cameras, QBot 2 ground vehicle, OptiTrack camera system, and QUARC for Simulink software are the main components of Quanser new Autonomous Vehicles Research Studio.
A couple of weeks ago, we invited a group of researchers from all across Canada to Quanser’s Markham headquarters for a roundtable discussion on autonomous vehicles. While we gave them a sneak peek of our new (and by now already released) Autonomous Vehicles Research Studio, featuring the QDrone, they talked about their fascinating research projects.
