This experiment models the behaviour of a real rigid element, e.g., a robotic arm. This additional module can be mounted on the Rotary Servo Base Unit. It consists of a head with an elastic beam and integrated strain gauge. The goal of the exercise is to control the motor in the base in such a way that after the movement the tip of the beam stops in a fixed position as quickly as possible. Students model this object mathematically and then design algorithms necessary to control it. 

The kit includes all the elements needed to quickly start the station: amplifier, controller, Matlab or LabVIEW module as well as educational materials for students.
