Simulink Student Challenge Winners
MathWorks announces the winners of the 2013 Simulink Student Challenge. Congratulations and thanks to all the students who entered.
First Place
Skymaster
Daniel Wilson – University of Sydney
This really cool video shows how MATLAB and Simulink were used to model an aircraft via Model-Based Design and tune GNC algorithms offline. This process considerably speeds up the development and deployment of new guidance algorithms. Watch this video to see model-based design in action!
Second Place
Development of Arm Controller for Robotic Satellite Servicing
Kristina Monakhova- University of Buffalo
Using Simulink and SimMechanics this video shows how complex geometries can be imported and modeled in Simulink. Once imported, a controller was designed to manipulate an 11 DOF robotic arm from a joystick and “glove” controller. For a cool application in robotics, check out this video!
Third Place
Modeling a Ventilation System in Simulink
Chrysanthi-Sofia Koulani - Technical University of Denmark (DTU)
An interesting application of Simulink was used to model the dynamics of a ventilation system. It modeled the time-based response of ventilation dampers to feedback control on the pressure and airflow in a typical household ventilation system. See the video to learn more!
