Automatic Control Engineering Laboratory
Practical First.Theory Follows.
Start with practical control engineering labs, then connect hands-on experience to applications and fundamental control theory through the ACE-CORE learning guides. Using MATLAB & Simulink, develop and test control algorithms with robust, affordable, portable ACE-Lab hardware.
Theory Led.Practically Proven.
Take models, controllers and identification methods from theory to real hardware. Using MATLAB & Simulink, implement and validate your research experimentally on robust, affordable, portable ACE-Lab hardware, with results that others can reproduce.
The hardwareACE-Lab Rigs
Robust, portable and modular hardware for developing microcontroller, electronics and measurement skills. ACE-Lab (Base + Sense) establishes the practical foundation, while ACE-Lab (Actuate) adds the actuators required for complete closed-loop control-system design and testing.
Start here ACE-Lab (Base + Sense)Develop microcontroller basics, build simple breadboard circuits and explore measurement.
Add-on ACE-Lab (Actuate)Adds actuators to ACE-Lab (Base + Sense) for complete closed-loop control-system design and testing.
