— Excerpt From Joel Carpenter's thesis
The objective of this experiment is to write a control program that swings a pole back and forth until it is balanced.
- Students use MatLab to write a control program.
- They login and uploaded their program to the server.
- The experiment is run and the result datasets are collected and evaluated.
- The student can then revicse their MatLab control program and rerun the experiment.
Inverted Pendulum client
- As the experiment is run, data is graphed and in the upper right corner an animation of the results is diplayed.
- On the right handside of the client a state diagram is dynamically updated to show the current state of the control program.
- On the left handside are client display options. There is also a simple animation.
