For over a decade, Quanser is emerged in the autonomous robotics, developing the stationary testbeds like 3 DOF Helicopter and 3 DOF Hover for research validation. Later on, we got our systems flying, releasing our first commercial drone (QBall-X4) for indoor labs in 2007. With developments in technology over the past few years, the research focus shifted towards multi-agent, swarm and vision-...
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...
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.
While the Quanser Interactive Labs is a great platform capable of giving students credible hardware experiences online, we see it also as a tool for students to interact with content and systems on-campus in a much more engaging and effective way. This demo highlights how you can use QLabs Controls in tandem with a physical system...
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.
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).
As the saying goes, you are never more than 8 feet from a spider. The same is true for control systems. In this video, Peter Martin will take you on a walking tour of his Toronto neighborhood to talk about the many control systems he comes across.
The recent development of the Quanser QDrone, the feature vehicle of our Autonomous Vehicles Research Studio, took us on a journey from its initial validation through the virtual flight simulation to the actual take-off.
In this video, Simon, R&D Engineer at Quanser, wants to show you something he has been working on recently. Many universities are looking for ways how to expose first-year students to advanced engineering topics in a hands-on way and give them some motivation through their first and second year, where most of their courses are fairly theoretical. So, Simon wanted to see if he can get the...
