Quanser Qube Servo 3
The Qube Servo 3 is an efficient and cost-effective learning platform designed to bring practical control systems education into the classroom with minimal setup time. It focuses on acquiring hands-on experience in control systems, robotics, mechatronics, and electromechanical control through one powerful integrated unit. The system interfaces directly to a Windows PC via USB and supports controller design using MATLAB Simulink or Python. It is intended for rapid prototyping, enabling students to go from theory to actual implementation in no time when working with real hardware. Offering a system that supports a customised design module and allows controller validation, it promotes experimentation and project-based learning as per the needs of today's control education.
