Course Overview


Holding the foot steady on the accelerator for hours on end is uncomfortable and can lead to your speed creeping up without you realizing it. Cruise Control takes over the accelerator to maintain a steady speed and stop your leg muscles from cramping. But, building such a system in consideration of all the inputs, system control, variables such as curvature, rough or loose terrain, rainy or wet weather, and traffic conditions can be highly challenging to study to avoid the risk of an accident. 

 

During this course, we will understand the complete system, functioning, logic, mathematics behind the system modeling, equations to create the Model-Based Design, build the model in simulation software, and analyze & tune the system to get the desirable results. 100% hands-on to build the numerical model using the Scilab-Xcos.

“A well structured program within the set time frame, helped me gain enough understanding to know about and use Scilab Xcos software, and work on projects which were amply challenging to help me understand about the model, go back and correct my mistakes and understand the analysis of the output. What I learnt through this internship serves as the perfect foundation and the skills I've gained will help me work on future projects with confidence. Apart from the technical part itself, you take us through the industry persepctive and what could we be doing to improve ourselves (work on more projects etc), delve more into what we've learnt, what to showcase in CVs which wholly rounded out my experience ”

“The course was wonderfully organized, with keen attention to detail. The topics covered were of sufficient depth for the duration of the course, and the 8th session covering hand calculation was excellent exposure for the attendees. One con however is that the videos seem to be very lengthy, and since this was posted as a self paced course, giving shorter videos of 1/2 hour durations would have been much better for attendee satisfaction.”

“At the end of 4 weeks, I had gained an ample amount of knowledge in designing the dynamic control system for a Drone which includes Pitch and Stability controls. Apart from these flight controls, the course covered in-depth knowledge on Transfer Functions, solving real-time problems on Race Car Resistive Forces, Plotting 3D graphs, data visualization, etc. The mentors are well experienced in the field of Electronics and control systems and the way they handled the course deserves appreciation.”
