QLabs - Accessible Hands-On Learning

Hands-on learning has long been confined to the campus lab. But the modern world demands more. To prepare students for the jobs of today and the industries of tomorrow, experiential learning must extend beyond those walls — accessible anytime, anywhere. #EngineeringEducation #HandsOnLearning #HybridLearning #Quanser #QLabs #DigitalTwins #RemoteLabs

HD2 High Definition Haptic Device: Multi-Domain Haptics, Single Platform

HD² is the lab’s haptic backplane. Open architecture, research-grade fidelity, and seamless interoperability across leading robots and virtual environments. See the integrations in motion. #HD2 #Quanser #HapticFeedback #RealtimeControl #Mechatronics #FRANKA #KUKA #QArm #QDrone

DIY QArm gripper

Like the QArm but not the gripper? Bring your own, or even better, design your own. James Ibbs from the University of Birmingham has done just that! The QArm's end-effector break-out board accelerates integration with the rest of the manipulator's software stack by providing analog/digital IO, UART/I2C/SPI connections, additional PWM channels, encoder channels, as well as 3.3V, 5V or 12V power. For his final year project, James moved the QArm's RGB-D camera to face downward and better suit his needs for identifying objects, and designed a new suction-based end-effector to pick and place the identified parts. What would you do with such a gripper, break-out board, or QArm?

Stakeholder Engagement & Influence

Who brings together more stakeholders than academia: parents, students, industry, government, and nonprofits? What is the best engagement model that goes beyond the traditional approach and links them all in one network where they can co-create value? K2i Academy is doing just that. Let’s see how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9eb1CzcEnk&t=1940s #EngineeringEducation #StakeholderEngagement #STEM #EdTech #K12Education

Behind the Robotics Demo: See–Think–Do–Talk in Action

Behind every eye-catching robotics demo lies a lot of failure: watch QCar and its digital twin share live LiDAR + RGB-D-YOLO data via NVIDIA Orin Nano—and methodically diagnose and fix it using Quanser’s See–Think–Do–Talk framework. #RoboticsInsights #QCar #DigitalTwin #RealTimeRobotics #FaultInjection #RobotFails #QuanserRobotics #HardwareInTheLoop
