A portable tool kit enabling students and engineers to learn and apply automated control engineering (ACE) without needing a full-scale laboratory.

It compactly packages all the required hardware, sensors and actuators so it can be set up on a desk or even at home.

The ACE-Box is available as an open-access resource (with the option to purchase the physical set-up for a small cost), and comes with an initial set of laboratory exercises. Thanks to its open-source design, this library of exercises will continue to expand over time.
