This webinar focuses on new modeling techniques and tools for rapidly creating high-fidelity plant models for advanced applications in areas such as space robotics, UA, flight control, and simulators. The techniques are founded on the use of symbolic computation techniques as a framework for efficient model equation formulation and model optimization. Using the new system MapleSim (derived from the Maple symbolic computation system), you will see how you can very quickly develop complex multibody and multi-domain plant models and produce realtime code and s-functions. The result is a dramatic decrease in the time to develop the model, without sacrificing fidelity or realtime performance. This Webinar will consist of two parts:
- Introduction to fundamental symbolic techniques to model formulation. How to create efficient multibody plant models, generate realtime code, and perform complex analysis such as inverse kinematic equation derivation.
- Case studies including ongoing Mars rover research and a quadrotor UAV application.
