Research Facilities: Vibration, Control, and Robotics Laboratory (ECS 215)
The mission of the lab is to conduct research and support teaching in the field of dynamics, vibration, control, and robotics. Specific facilities and equipment include:
- Test and Measurement: Multimeters, PCB 352C68
and PCB 352A21 accelerometers, Dytran accelerometer, and Kistler
9722A2000 impact hammer.
- Data Acquisition and Control: National Instruments PCI-6024E, PCI-6601, USB-9233 DAQcards, and Labview software, MATLAB xPC Target toolbox, Real-Time Workshop toolbox, and Robust Control toolbox, Quanser MultiQ-3 DAQcard, and WinCon software.
- Other Specialized Software: CUTPRO for machining process simulation and measurement, and AdvantEdge for optimization of metal cutting process.
- Plants: Quanser Inverted Pendulum, Seesaw, Active Mass Damper-1flr, and 2-DOF Robot Module, and Lynx 6 Robotic Arms.
