Real-World (and Out-Of-This-World)
Applications
The 3 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) Gyroscope is a dynamically diverse experimental
platform to teach rotational dynamic challenges. Real-world applications
of 3 DOF Gyroscope experiment include space vehicle attitude control
and ship gyrocompass systems. The device comes with pedagogical curriculum
and QuaRC®’s control design environment. So you get a comprehensive
plug-and-play solution for teaching and research. The best of both worlds – and
space.
Curriculum Topics Provided – Request a Curriculum Sample

Theory To Practice In One Simulated Step
See the 3 DOF Gyroscope from another perspective. Use visualization
tools within QuaRC® to run a real-time virtual environment simulation
of the device in parallel to the actual controller commanding the plant.
The Virtual Plant Simulation (VPS) may be used independently to examine
the designed controller on a graphical and accurate simulation. This
enables you to implement the real-time control algorithm without any
need for hardware-in-the-loop components. The result? This simulation
module addresses the traditional “theory to practice” control
design cycle - modeling, design, simulation and implementation. The Virtual
Plant Simulation is included in the 3 DOF Gyroscope Hardware-in-the-Loop
solution or can be purchased separately. |
