4. Arduino Engineering Kit Rev 2 (MATLAB & Simulink)
Target: University engineering students (Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical)
Developed jointly with MathWorks, this university-level course uses model-based design, differential equations, and hardware-in-the-loop control systems. Includes 3 capstone projects:
A. Self-Balancing Motorcycle
A two-wheeled vehicle that balances autonomously using a high-speed reaction flywheel controlled by brushless DC motors and an IMU running a Kalman filter.
B. Autonomous Forklift Robot
A mobile robot featuring dual geared DC motors, an electric lead-screw fork lift, and computer vision object tracking via MATLAB to palletize goods autonomously.
C. Drawing Robot (2-DOF Scara Arm)
An articulate dual-link robotic arm with inverse kinematics and spline interpolation that converts vector images into physical pen plots.
