2011 Education Finalist
MIT Students Use LabVIEW and CompactRIO to Design and Implement a Dynamic Output Feedback Controller
Author: Professor Jonathan How, Professor Emilio Frazzoli, Brandon Luders, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Challenge: Giving students the tools to implement control designs on real-world hardware, including a simulation environment for prototyping and validating their controllers to help overcome the challenges of moving from theory to practice.
Solution: Using NI LabVIEW software and CompactRIO hardware as a control platform to design and prototype controllers in simulation and implement them in real-world systems using a unified software architecture that easily takes students from the simulation environment and with a toggle switch on the LabVIEW front panel to deploy their controller to the physical hardware.
