9:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Session 1: Data Acquisition, Analysis and Visualization in MATLAB
During this technical presentation, we will introduce specific examples to demonstrate how to acquire, analyze and visualize data through mathematical, statistical and engineering functions that support common engineering operations. We will provide an overview of the MATLAB technical computing environment, including desktop tools for editing and debugging code, publishing your work, programming and 3-D visualization, and creating graphical user interfaces (GUI). We will also incorporate a number of new features from the latest version of MATLAB.
Highlights include:
•
Importing data and images into MATLAB
•
Performing
statistical analysis and curve fitting
•
Automating
analysis via automatic MATLAB code generation
•
Developing
algorithms and applications
•
Building
GUIs and generating reports
1:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Session 2: Designing and Modeling a Multi-Domain Physical System in MATLAB and Simulink
How a Differential Equation Becomes a Robot: Expanding the power of MATLAB using Simulink and Symbolic Math Toolbox
Starting with underlying mathematical and physical principles, we will discuss the iterative process of analysis, design and optimization involved in the development and implementation of a real-world practical application. We will examine how a simple second order differential equation can evolve into a complex dynamic model of a multi-degree of freedom robotic manipulator that includes the controls, electronics and three-dimensional mechanics of the complete system.
Highlights of the presentation include:
•
Using
the MuPad interface in the Symbolic Math Toolbox to create equations of motion
•
Modeling
complex electro-mechanical systems using Simulink and the physical modeling
libraries
•
Using
MATLAB scripts to control and automate the simulation of dynamic models in
Simulink
•
Importing
three-dimensional mechanisms directly from CAD packages using the SimMechanics
translator
•
Using
the Control System Toolbox and the Optimization Toolbox directly on your
Simulink model
•
Creating
virtual reality visualizations and interfacing with external devices using
Simulink 3D Animation
• Prototyping and testing your real-time system directly in hardware with xPC
