Model-Based Design of a Competition Car

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Robotics in Education

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 457))

Abstract

The paper shows how students used the modeling and simulation capabilities of the Matlab/Simulink to improve the control design of their winning FEIminetors car for the worldwide known Freescale Cup competition. Creating and simulating the model gives us a better understanding of the processes and almost bug-less transfer of the code to the embedded processor. Model was used also for the first estimation of a device controller. We also summarize our experiences with the competition organization.
