The video shows a test flight of the Qball-X4, Quanser's unmanned aerial vewe performed recently using the ipod's accelerometers to control the roll and pitch commands to the vehicle with one pilot, while the second pilot controls the throttle and the yaw. We are working on an ipod controller that only requires one pilot to fly the vehicle, but this test was a very interesting way to combine a new human interface with an existing vehicle controller.

This is an implementation of Quanser's 3D visualization blocks using a technique called texture baking to achieve a much higher level of detail than is actually present in the mesh as well as precalculating all the shadows and lighting. As you can see from the wire frame view, the pumpkin has the appearance of a might higher level of detail. This is done by using normal maps in Autodesk's 3ds max or Blender to render fine details into the base diffuse texture. Although it is not apparent ...

The Rehabilitation Robot combines Quanser's robotic and haptic technologies with an intelligent graphical computer interface to treat post-stroke patient in need of limb rehabilitation. The robot replicates traditional rehabilitation exercises through customized, interactive games. As the patient's mobility improves, the device detects the progress and adjusts the level of resistance.
The unique design of Quanser Quadrotor UAV with the entire helicopter enclosed within a protective carbon fiber cage, makes safer to fly in multiple UAV formations or indoors. The video shows one of our recent flight tests. The quadrotor is flown with a human-in-the-loop and a stabilizing controller. The hiq sensors are used in a stabilizing controller, which is needed to keep the vehicle stable during flight. The entire controller is designed in Simulink including the joystick used to fly ...
