Abstract

This presentation displays how RT-LAB was used at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal to help test and build their 8-degree-of-freedom robot arm. The RT-LAB Engineering Simulator was chosen as the real-time platform because of its performance, its support for QNX and the ability to easily implement controllers developed in SIMULINK.

Abstract

Using CarSim-RT with iSight, engineers were able to demonstrate the optimization of a braking system with an ABS ECU connected to the design model. In this example, demonstrated at the iSight User Conference in Detroit, the vehicle's wheelbase was left unconstrained in order to find the length required in order to minimize the braking distance.
