  • Abstract
    When teaching control systems, it is important for students to implement controllers experimentally. Oftentimes off-the-shelf experimental systems are used to achieve this goal. These systems can have a number of advantages, such as repeatability, durability, and safety, and can be interesting and exciting for students.
